In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Gosnold discusses:

  • How threat actors have adapted to the new remote workforce and compromises organizations might have made to deploy it;
  • The role of containerization;
  • Advice to security teams about refining their strategies and taking a "zero trust" approach.

Gosnold is head of security associate for U.K.-based CloudKubed. He formerly worked as head of technology services security at DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) and head of the CISO practice at Fujitsu Services.
