“ For privileged accounts , authentication to sensitive data , systems and apps should be more than just passwords ”

BRENDA MCCULLOCH CISO ,

Work may be more challenging than it ' s ever been , but McCulloch is irrepressibly optimistic - and embraces the new remote working culture , despite the issues it presents .
“ Post pandemic , we really don ’ t know how it ' s going to look . So we just want to be ready with our strategy . If we take the scalable approach we can ensure the entire workforce can operate from home - or any location ,” she says .
And working from home is a pleasure that suits McCulloch well . “ I personally am thankful I ’ ve had this chance to have more family time and the opportunity to try new things ,” she says .
“ These days when I finish work , I don ’ t have a long and late commute . I simply shut down my computer and my son and I might go for a bike ride together . It ’ s a simple but wonderful pleasure that we never would have been able to enjoy before because working life didn ’ t allow for such mid-week activities .”
Through the pandemic , innovations have been discovered , solutions to problems are steadily being solved , while families can have more time together . It ’ s not difficult to see why McCulloch is pleased to be part of a company that is embracing the change .
