RSA 2008

Selected Over 2,800 Speaker Applicants

A Skybox Security customer, Simon Riggs of Reuters, was selected over 2800 other applicants to speak at RSA 2008. Simon is Global Head of IT Security and considered one the top CISOs in the world by Information Security Magazine. Mr. Riggs will talk about Bringing an Operational Discipline to Security to build the foundation of Reuters’ service improvement business initiative. According to Simon, “I’m a great believer that we should not be doing security for the sake of doing security. We should be doing security because we’re running a business”.  

Mr. Riggs knows what complexity and high rate of change means since he is responsible for securing an environment of real-time data feeds, historical databases and an infrastructure of 30,000 switches, routers and more than 1,300 firewalls.
