In this episode of The Future of Security Operations podcast, Thomas interviews industry veteran Dmitriy Sokolovskiy.
Dmitriy is a founding member of (ISC)2 Eastern Massachusetts Chapter, and has over 25 years of experience in the security industry, having led teams at Putnam Investments, CyberArk, and, most recently, Avid. He’s a mentor and advisor to several successful startups and sits on the advisory board of companies like Audience 1st.

- Getting comfortable “losing sales on purpose” and building a cloud security program from the ground up at CyberArk.
- Running product security at Avid, where the customer base included Oscar-winning film editors and Grammy-winning sound engineers.
- A particularly memorable mistake - how Dmitriy accidentally rerouted every employee’s emails to his inbox on the first day on the job, and what that experience taught him.
- Learning to measure and communicate the security team’s ROI to senior leadership, with guidance from the team at Okta.
- Why he believes we need a new word to describe the cybersecurity industry.
- Dmitriy’s thoughts on the role security practitioners will play in fifth-generation warfare.
