Kevin Bocek from Venafi talks about the critical role of cybersecurity in today’s digital world and how Venafi differentiates itself in this competitive market.
1. Tell us about your role at Venafi. How much of your typical day is involved in innovating cyber security tech for your customers?
I oversee Venafi’s technology ecosystem and threat intelligence initiatives. This means I get to spend 100% of my time focused on innovation, from working with the world’s largest developers, such as HashiCorp, to new start-ups, like Akeyless. I’m also continuously looking for new machine identity threats that others have not found. Overall, it’s really not work for me, it’s fun.
2. What are the applications or rather opportunities you seek to have with your services?
We’re industry leaders, Venafi is forging ahead with the future of machine identity management. We’re already living in a world where the number of machines, such as those in the cloud or our devices – far outnumber humans. So, Venafi is inventing technology that will protect machine identities at scale and speed, as well as drive open source innovation. This way, the entire community benefits.
3. How did you define the vision of Venafi? How did you approach your first 100 days at Venafi?
Venafi’s vision has always been shaped by our team and customers, we’re incredibly fortunate to work with them. Ultimately, there are two actors on networks, clouds, and the Internet – people and machines. The world was quickly evolving and every machine must have an identity. Attackers have understood this well, but many organizations do not.
