Martin McKeay (Akamai): “The best tools to protect your internet business!
Think of security in the planning phase of everything your organization does it’s the most important thing to do
Arturo Di Corinto per Cybersecurity del 26 novembre 2016
Martin McKeay, thanks for talking to us. You are an expert in information security, could you please tell us more about you, your technical background and your motivations?
I started in IT nearly 20 years ago as a help desk technician, I’m now a Senior Security Advocate and I’ve done nearly every job in between. In my early career, I managed several small networks as the sole IT person for an entire company, meaning I had to be desktop support, server administrator and network all at the same time. I’d always been interested in security, but when I started digging into PCAPs and IDS alerts, I realized it was the career I wanted to pursue. This led to a role as a security manager at a small business, which I left to spend time as a Payment Card Industry Qualified Security Assessor, and finally to my current role at Akamai. During much of that time I’ve also recorded a weekly security podcast and maintained a blog (www.mckeay.net)
