Episode #18: Chenxi Wang: VC and Cybersecurity Fund Founder Shares Insights for Women in Tech.

In this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast hosted by Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, Wang spoke about these and other third-party security trends. The podcast was recorded in anticipation of the The State of Cloud Native Security virtual summit to take place on June 24.Major exploits such as the Target and Equifax hacks made headlines a few years ago. But these infamous attacks have not necessarily served as a wakeup call for many, if not most, organizations. They lack the security tools, processes and culture required to properly protect their data, Chenxi Wang, Ph.D., managing general partner, Rain Capital, said.“Everybody read about those headlines but translating that into the work [organizations] do day to day, I think there’s still a gap,” Wang said. “As security industry professionals — myself included — we need to reach out more to the adjacent community and especially with Dev these days. I mean software is eating the world and Dev is the one driving software, so we need to work with dev to make it happen.”
