This month ’ s cover story , which can be found on page 51 , features Friedemann Kurz , Head of IT , Porsche Motorsport . With Secure Access Service Edge ( SASE ) becoming a cornerstone of the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team ’ s strategy and having previously dealt with complexity , high management costs and obsolescence , he tells us how the team is benefiting from a Cato Networks ’ solution which has provided a secure and comprehensive environment for real-time data transmission .

“ Cato Networks will allow us to focus on the critical decisions that make a difference on-track by lessening the administrative work to set up and manage our IT network infrastructure ,” says Kurz . “ Using the Cato SASE Cloud , we ’ re able to have the reliable and secure connectivity we need to have anywhere around the world , whether at a racetrack , during travel or at the research and development centre in Weissach , the home of Porsche Motorsport .”

On page 27 , in this month ’ s Editor ’ s Question , we ask three industry experts What strategies can organisations implement to defend against social engineering attacks and why is it important to educate all parties involved ?

We hear from Christiaan Beek , Senior Director Threat Analytics , Rapid7 ; Trevor Dearing , Director of Critical Infrastructure , Illumio ; and Richard Ford , CTO , Integrity360 .

This month ’ s Go Phish features Eric Fourrier , GitGuardian , CEO , who tells us about life inside and outside the office .

He tells us : “ I loved writing code and there ’ s a point in the journey where , as a technical leader , you stop writing code . That took me a few years . It is a tough experience , and many CTOs never succeed at stepping away from that .

“ The farther removed they get from the day-to-day of the engineering teams , the more they can get out of sync with the teams ’ coding standards and practices . Luckily for my technical teams , I recognised that and stepped back .”
