Data in the modern security org: A chat with Julie Chickillo, VP and Head of Cybersecurity at Guild

To create an effective security strategy, you need to know what your company cares about and how to support various teams. But figuring out exactly what’s most important to your company is easier said than done. And it can be difficult to pinpoint which teams need your help the most.

Julie, an advocate for women in tech and recipient of our inaugural Secured by Women initiative, explained which teams she helps first, the surprising places to find out what matters most to your company, and much more.
