"Your Foundation Needs to be Strong" | Yaamini Mohan, Security Engineer, Dell EMC
Drawing from her experience at Dell and Infosys, Security Engineer Yaamini Mohan breaks down why getting your security basics right — boring stuff like passwords, patching, and MFA— will move the needle much more than any expensive AI-powered solution. In this conversation with SquareX Field CISO John Carse, she also discusses how the shift to cloud and SaaS has expanded our attack surface, why most security work should be boring, and the myth of gender imbalance in the industry.
