In a video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA Conference 2022, Sullivan also discusses:

  • How zero trust can secure users and applications more effectively;
  • How Cloudflare and its top customers are approaching zero trust;
  • What the Russia-Ukraine war means for CISOs around the globe.

Sullivan, an American internet security expert leading security at Cloudflare, has served as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice and worked as a CSO for Facebook and Uber. At Facebook, Sullivan assembled a security team to address requests from law enforcement agencies globally and fight various types of cybercrime within the social network. After law school, Sullivan spent the first eight years of his career in the Department of Justice, where he represented the government in the landmark United States v. Elcom Ltd. case, the first U.S. prosecution under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. He also worked on multiple cybercrime cases including digital evidence aspects of the 9/11 investigation, economic espionage and child predator cases.
