Guest: Mike Schiffman, Network Security “UTL” Topics: Given your impressive and interesting history, tell us a few things about yourself? What are the biggest challenges facing network security today based on your experience? You came to Google to work on Network Security challenges. What are some of the surprising ones you’ve uncovered here? What lessons from Google's approach to network security absolutely don’t apply to others? Which ones perhaps do? If you have to explain the difference between network security in the cloud and on-premise, what comes to mind first? How do we balance better encryption with better network security monitoring and detection? Speaking of challenges in cryptography, we’re all getting fired up about post-quantum and network security. Could you give us the maybe 5 minute teaser version of this because we have an upcoming episode dedicated to this? I hear you have some interesting insight on LLMs, something to do with blueboxing or something. What is that about?
