EP86 How to Apply Lessons from Virtualization Transition to Make Cloud Transformation Better

Guest: Thiébaut Meyer, Director at Office of the CISO, Google Cloud Topics: Virtualization's arrival caused a major IT upheaval 20 years ago. What can we learn from that revolution for our current cloud transformation? We talk about our three legged security stool of people/process/technology. How do we balance the technical issues (new technology stack, etc.) with the new processes (agile, etc) and the skills? What are the cultural and people transformation differences between the virtualization and cloud revolutions? We do recall how PCI DSS was disrupted by virtualization.  So, how does regulation play into this change - back then and now with the cloud? How do we change the minds of regulators who still think that cloud is a risk to mitigate, rather than a way to mitigate others risks better?
