Commanding the Council of the Lords of Thought with Anna Belak

A few years ago Corey caught wind of the open source project Sysdig, which at the time attracted his attention. Now it has turned into something “rather interesting” when it comes to observability and security. Anna Belak, Sysdig’s Director of Thought Leadership, is here to expand on all that “interesting” may entail. Anna, who holds a PhD in Materials Engineering, is now the high chancellor of the lords of thought for Sysidig. What this actually means is she works in product and marketing in a way that is “half evangelism and half product strategy.” Anna discusses Sysdig’s product evolution into DevSecOps, security in the container world, the 2022 Cloud-Native Security and Usage Report, and more!
