Patrick was a "dyed-in-the-wool" deep packet inspection guy until the day he had an epiphany and realized that pretty soon existing security approaches were going to run into unsolvable problems. His response to that ultimately became Observable Networks, which Cisco acquired last year. In this episode Patrick explains what sustainable security technology looks like (hint: a lot like Stealthwatch Cloud), how it works, how it fits into the larger Cisco security portfolio, and how it protects "the time and attention of its users."

Ep49: Sustainable Cloud Security, with Patrick Crowley

Cloud Unfiltered is a series of interviews with the people that are working to move cloud technology and implementation forward. This includes everyone from software engineers and open source project leads to IT executives and cloud users. In these interviews we talk about different cloud architectures, management models, and deployment strategies. We discuss platform compatibility, the culture changes required for cloud success, and the complimentary technologies that are making cloud more powerful with each passing day.
