Extending Security Ownership Across Your Organization: A conversation with Megan O’Neil, Principal Security Solutions Architect at AWS

In this chat with AWS enterprise strategist, Clarke Rodgers, Megan discusses the benefits of extending security ownership beyond the security department. Here at AWS, identifying vulnerabilities isn’t just the responsibility of the security team — every employee is empowered and expected to report potential security issues.

In Megan’s own words, “The idea is that we don't want anyone to feel worried or intimidated by thinking there's a security issue. We want to know about it. We want to react to it…This kind of thinking breeds a culture of transparency around security and an openness I’ve never seen anywhere before.” Watch the video to learn more about what it takes to cultivate a shared responsibility mindset for security in your organization.
