Samantha Humphries, Head of Security Strategy EMEA, Exabeam
What does your job role entail?
I’ve worked in cybersecurity for over 20 years now, and had a myriad of different roles, from defining strategy for multiple security products and technologies, to helping hundreds of organisations of all shapes, sizes, and geographies recover and learn from cyberattacks.
In my current role at Exabeam I am responsible for security strategy, EMEA. I like to spend a chunk of my time speaking on webcasts and authoring articles for security publications, as well as speaking and volunteering at a number of industry events. I’m heavily involved in BSides, which is a security community initiative, and I am on the leadership teams for Newcastle and Lancashire.
How did you get into the cybersecurity industry?
