Stan Lee didn't start in cybersecurity - he has a biochemistry degree from UCLA and worked his way up from IT helpdesk to becoming CISO at major companies like PayPal, Palo Alto Networks, and now EarnIn. His unique journey across industries gives him a perspective that most security leaders don't have, especially when it comes to the speed differences between B2B and B2C security challenges.
In this conversation, Stan shares the challenges of building B2B vs B2C security, how browser-based attacks are becoming the norm (especially extensions) and why security professionals can't afford to lag behind emerging technologies like AI anymore.
