Building a Resilient Cloud Security Program after Merger and Acquisition

In this episode, host Ashish Rajan sits down with Prahathess Rengasamy, a cloud security expert with extensive experience at companies like Credit Karma, Block, and Apple. Together, they explore the challenges and best practices for scaling cloud security, especially in the complex scenarios of mergers and acquisitions.

Starting with foundational elements like CSPMs and security policies, Prahathess breaks down the evolution of cloud security strategies. He explains why cloud security cannot succeed in isolation and emphasizes the need for collaboration with platform and infrastructure engineering teams. The conversation delves into real-world examples, including managing AWS and GCP security post-acquisition and navigating the cultural and technical challenges that come with multi-cloud environments.
