Talking Cloud Podcast: Robin Smith, CISO at Aston Martin

If you've ever heard of Aston Martin and know, even a little, about cars you know, Aston Martin is not a typical automobile. The same could be said about their CISO; Robin is anything but typical.

Hear why Robin quotes Einstein ("We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them") and believes the problems and challenges we face in the cloud will take a new way of thinking...what he calls liquid thinking.
