EP 57 — Clari’s Steve Lukose on Using SLAs as Benchmarks for Businesses

In this episode of the Future of Application Security, Harshil speaks with Steve Lukose, Vice President of Security at Clari, about how security is becoming a business enabler rather than just an organization. 

Steve explains why SLAs will become one of the benchmarks for security experts to use, but that it won’t necessarily be for all aspects of security. Still, they’ll be a great tool to help security organizations plan ahead for their next steps. 

They also discuss the importance of cross functional collaboration, why your team should build relationships outside of the group, and how regulatory bodies are driving change. 

Topics discussed:

• The importance of building relationships within your team and outside of it.
• Why SLAs will become a benchmark for security leaders to use for planning their next business steps.
• How security leaders can work with their teams, partners such as engineers, and stakeholders to make sure they stay on track and keep focus.
• How product managers can help facilitate projects by understanding what each stakeholder needs.
• How security transcends barriers by becoming a business enabler, shifting from a restrictive function to one that supports and enhances organizational objectives and growth.
• The importance of cross functional collaboration.
• How scrutiny from regulatory bodies such as the SEC is driving change.
