Episode Notes

“The more that we distribute, the more that we decentralize, the more that we fragment, the more that we go down pathways of things like no code low code, the more that we go down serverless. We're just creating a distributed environment that is a target rich environment for the bad actors and an incredibly difficult landscape for us to manage from a security standpoint.”  - Richard Bird
