Christopher Degni leads the Architect Studio within Akamai's InfoSec department, where he develops security researchers into architects. When he's not caught up in management, he likes to think about the systemic forces that shape security and the levers we can use to affect them for positive change. Prior to joining Akamai, he worked in industry and government in various cyber analysis roles, including system-level red teaming, cyber intelligence analysis, and advanced analytics (before they were cool). He is a recovering cynic.
