Product Management of Security Solutions: What's It Like and How to Do It?
- Lenny Zeltser
- Tuesday, July 17th, 8:15pm - 9:15pm
Established enterprises as well as startups who create information security products have much to consider when deciding how to build, deliver and maintain solutions that makes sense for their business and customers. The individuals tasked with creating and overseeing such offerings often have "product management" in their titles. What do these people do? What skills do they possess? This session explores the mindset of a product manager who focuses on information security solutions. Those unfamiliar with this discipline will better understand whether they should consider such a role for their career development. Those already tasked with managing security solutions will benefit from hearing about a lightweight framework that can help them make better decisions about their products.
