When someone says Pinterest, the first thing that comes to mind is a social platform and a place to seek inspiration. But for the people working behind the scenes, it’s more than that.
In February 2021, Pinterest had 459 million active monthly users. That’s a lot of data and traffic, and security measures must be put in place for an exceptional user experience. So how do they do it?
In this episode of Cloud Security Reinvented, our host Andy Ellis chats with Andy Steingruebl, the Chief Security Officer at Pinterest. The two discuss the difference between the on-premise and cloud era and what differentiates Pinterest from companies like PayPal. They also touch upon the best and worst on-premise practices and the future of technology.
