Wow! Our friends at SafeBase delivered an afternoon of fellowship and deep exploration into the workplace, serving up a keynote by Dr. Cynthia Sutherland, US Lead Security Assurance for AWS. Dr. Sutherland is not only former CISO of FEMA, but an author and lead on humanitarian efforts impacting 2,000 victims of sexual assault. After her keynote, she led a discussion on the experience of leading as a female in the workspace. She demonstrates her own enduring relationship with Alexis Robinson, CISA, PMP, MBA and their ability to collaborate and thrive as female leaders. Enlightenment and discussions on self actualization are not separate from security and culture, but she proved are a part. Shout out to SafeBase for creating community and leaving us all a little better for having been. #womenincyber #safebase #womenintrust #aws #security

We work with hundreds of CEOs competing relentlessly for big rewards. From the outside, business might look polished and straightforward, but in reality, it’s a fierce, competitive game. And if you’re playing to win, that’s part of the deal. But here’s where responsibility comes in: In the drive for success, we’re tasked with protecting the people who can take the fall for our high-stakes moves—the customers who entrust us with their data who are the everyday citizens affected by the systems we build. This isn’t just good practice; it’s a core part of aligning with a fair and just society. Regulators don’t just oversee compliance and cybersecurity for the sake of rules—they’re protecting the public interest from the dangers they know are associated with the games we play in business against each other. That means our job is to set up solid controls, not just to check a box or close a deal, but because it’s the right thing to do. Real compliance?isn’t about shortcuts or half-measures; it’s about building a foundation that keeps people safe and builds trust. Responsibility?in business means creating a system that does right by those who depend on it. So if you’re going to play the game, play to win—but do it with integrity. Invest in the right security. Build real compliance. As you grow, make sure you’re doing right by the people who’ve put their trust in you. That’s how you build something that not only lasts but also respects the code we all depend on.

We are excited to bring on Sakshi Sangamwar—a Master’s student at the University of Southern California. Sakshi studies computer security and spent time at Google, where she led projects building LLMs using Go, Google’s programming language. Though it is less common than using Python due to the extensive machine learning libraries and ecosystem available in Python (like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face), Golang can be a great choice for implementing efficient, high-performance systems and for deploying LLMs, especially in production environments requiring speed and concurrency. We're excited to build with you, Sakshi Sangamwar! #violetx #internship #golang #google #LLMs #computersecurity
