Episode 9: Security Priorities

The Main Thread

Is your platform secure? How do you know? How do you even know all of the machines, networks, software, and data that make up your platform in the first place? We're joined by Amirali Shahinpour, Head of Security Data Platform at Twitch to discuss driving security priorities across your organization.

Amir's Framework for addressing vulns:

• Prepare (Requires Asset Inventory)
• Identify (Threat intel: what’s affected?)
• Analyze (Prioritize: use extra context from Inventory)
• Communicate
• Treat (take action)
