In this week’s episode, we feature a segment all about policy, Internet regulation, and the 10th anniversary of our Project Galileo. Host João Tomé is joined by Alissa Starzak, Global Head of Policy at Cloudflare, to discuss policy and regulation in 2024. This conversation was recorded in early May 2024 in our San Francisco office. We begin with Alissa’s impressive background, from the private sector to the CIA, the US Army, and then Cloudflare.

Host João Tomé is joined by two guests. First, we have Ranee Bray, Chief of Staff of our Security Team, discussing how we managed programmatically what we called Code Red — several teams were put together to focus in 30 days on strengthening, validating, and remediating a security incident. Credential management, software hardening, vulnerability management, additional alerting, and other areas were also a part of the “Code Red” effort.

In May 1974, 50 years ago, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn made history with their paper on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) published by @IEEEorg. Here is a teaser of a longer video (and "This Week in Net" episode) coming soon from our protocol experts, Mark Nottingham (Australia), and Lucas Pardue (UK).

This week, host João Tomé heads to San Francisco for the cybersecurity RSA Conference (May 6-9, 2024). First, we gather insights from attendees, ranging from a cybersecurity student on the brink of graduation to seasoned managers and experts. We also feature Cloudflare’s Chief Privacy Officer discussing the nexus of security and privacy. Plus, insights from Carlos Alberto Silva, a Portuguese venture capitalist with extensive experience in cybersecurity investments.

Dani Grant, co-founder of Jam.dev, talks about her company, how they are trying to fix the bug process for developers, and also discusses how Jam.dev uses Cloudflare. We also go over what a better internet for the future looks like, and the challenges and opportunities in the AI era.

We were at the RSA Conference in San Francisco this week, hearing different perspectives on the security landscape in 2024. Here's a teaser of some of the things we heard.
