Chen Ben Artzi | Cyera | How to build a smart platform that fixes security problems
Description
Chen Ben Artzi took an unusual path: QA, product owner, development and leading development teams, then back to product, with more than a decade in fintech before moving to Cyera. She explains the data security problem of Fortune 500 enterprises through four questions: where the data is, what it is, whether it is at risk, and how to reduce the risk, and why context determines whether information is sensitive. Chen describes how integrations with systems like Jira and SIEMs close the loop on alert fatigue, how she prioritizes between customers, partners and internal needs at a hyper-growth company, and what a product interview with her looks like. She also shares how each of her three maternity leaves became a career transition point, and what she learns from the juniors she mentors.
