Shred

For those unfamiliar with the snowboarding slang term Shred, it means “to ride with exceptional speed, ability, or enthusiasm, especially in difficult terrain and conditions”. Sumo Logic’s CSO, George Gerchow, applies this methodology whether it’s by way of Board, or by Way of Life.

George has been carving up IT and Systems Management territory for over 20 years. His background has allowed him to gain unmatched expertise in the areas of security, compliance, and cloud computing. His thoughtful insights make him a highly regarded speaker, and panelist on topics such as DevSecOps, cloud secure architecture design, virtualization, compliance, Bug Bounties, and operational security and compliance. George has been on the bleeding edge of public cloud security and privacy since being a co-founder of the VMware Center for Policy & Compliance. Mr. Gerchow is an active Board Member for several technology start-ups and the co-author of the CIS Quick Start Cloud Infrastructure Benchmark v1 and the MISTI Fundamentals in Cloud Security. He is also Faculty Member for IANS and the Cloud Academy.

He traverses into BarCode and we catch up on Supply Chain security, SMB best practices, the Center of Data, ZTA, Zero Day Vulnerabilities, Bug Bounties, his self-described “biggest bonehead move ever” and owning it, the MMA-INFOSEC connection and much much more. George also opens up about the meaning of his newly founded X Foundation, a non profit organization that has spawned from a personal, heartbreaking story which is critical for everyone to hear.
