Security was never meant to be the wall
I'm VP – Enterprise Architect at Coforge (formerly Encora), based in Bangalore. Before that I ran the company's global systems and cyber security for six years: Zero Trust, identity and resilience for 10,000+ people.
The strongest security teams aren't the ones that say "no" the most. They're the ones people walk towards, because they expect "yes, and here's how".
