MongoDB Deputy CISO Chris Sandulow joins Chris Martinez on CISO Insider for a discussion on the challenges and opportunities he faces in his everyday work as a data and security steward at one of the leading document-oriented database services. One big idea rises to the top in our chat: how a risk-based approach to issues and productivity flexibility allows his teams and org do their best work as security practitioners and as individuals. This approach is based on empathy for the teams he works with, understanding customers’ needs, building a non-toxic team for continued success, and creating the right work/life balance at MongoDB.
