Silverfort’s Post

A few weeks ago, I concluded my tenure at DUST Identity, dedicating nearly 3.5 years to the organization. I would like to express my gratitude for the invaluable opportunities that DUST Identity provided me during this period. I take immense pride in the significant accomplishments we achieved during my time. Stepping into a leadership role was an incredibly humbling, challenging, and growth-oriented experience, which I consider a transformative chapter in my career. Leading individuals, a team, and then an entire portion of the business certainly takes you out of your comfort zone. I am exceptionally proud of the team I had the privilege to assemble and lead, the culture we cultivated, and the innovative products we developed. Working for any startup is undeniably demanding, and assuming a leadership position within a startup is an even greater challenge. While I may not have gotten everything right on the first attempt, I have learned and evolved as an individual and forged lasting relationships. Here is a small list of some of the things I helped accomplish along the way: - Scaled the engineering and product organization to, at its height, 15 engineers - Led the engineering strategy that allowed the DUST technology stack to expand into multiple markets - Built an effective cybersecurity culture that significantly expanded our FA&D offerings - Architected and led our Air-gapped product that is on its way to getting an ATO - Had the opportunity to work with some amazing and talented individuals and customers Also, along the way, I set out to achieve some personal goals as well: - Obtained my CISSP Certification - Completed my MBA - Created a Cybersecurity Course for Business Students that I’ve been teaching at UNH for the past two years. I would like to express my gratitude to Rod Schultz and Ashish Larivee for serving as my mentors during this journey. They consistently pushed me to excel and instilled in me the resilience required when facing tough decisions and uncertainties. They not only taught me how to be an effective engineering leader but also a leader attuned to creating a lasting and sustainable Product Vision that supports business outcomes, solving a market problem, all while fostering the ability to empower a team to achieve such a vision. DUST Identity is still growing and hiring, so check them out if you’re looking for your next challenge! As for what the future holds, I am taking a few weeks to recharge before embarking on the next chapter of my career. While I am not yet ready to announce my next opportunity, I will share the details next month once everything has fallen into place.

Every quarter at Rival Group Inc. , we recognize people who embody our core values. For Q1, Heather Balch, our Office Experience Manager, has won for RESULTS! Here's a short Q&A with Heather about her role. What’s your role at Rival and what’s your favourite part about it?    I am the Office Experience Manager in Vancouver at Rival. What I love most about this position is the ever-changing nature of each day. The office environment is dynamic, with different faces every day and tasks constantly changing. The day-to-day responsibilities are always shifting, and no day is ever the same here. This really keeps things interesting and engaging.   Talk us through a great achievement you’ve had since working with us.    The end of 2023 was a busy one at Rival/Reach3. We relocated our Vancouver office while hosting 2 company Holiday gatherings, with over 45 attendees flying in. Successfully managing these events simultaneously stands out as one of my top accomplishments at Rival. Everything fell into place seamlessly for the construction and relocation, while both parties turned out to be successes. Bringing everyone together and achieving these milestones was amazing.   What surprised you most about working at Rival Technologies?   Having never ventured into the tech industry before, it's very interesting to witness how it works. The fast-pace and ever-changing scope of the company have been exciting to be a part of. I hadn't anticipated the speed at which technology can move and change, it was surprising to witness this firsthand. #RivalGroup #mrxpros #yvrtech #bctech

I am so thankful to FORVIS for closing our offices last week so we could enjoy deep rest. My rest took the form of umpteen hours of k-drama binging and a collective 14 hours of Lego-ing, as well as spending time with my family and cooking and baking and other things that bring me joy. The fruits of last week’s labor may look different from my normal work products, but the principles practiced are the same: 1- We can do hard things. 2- Pay attention to detail. 3- Documentation is KEY. 4- Trust the process. 5- Get comfortable in the mess, because the middle steps rarely look like the end result. 6- What looks like a just another block might be an opportunity, if you can reimagine it and get it in the right spot. 7- Don’t forget a piece. Inclusion is key to the strength of any structure. 8- When the hours are long, celebrate small wins to keep going. What sorts of activities bring you joy? What parallels can you find to your work? If there aren’t any, you might be doing the wrong work!

We're hiring for #pubsec, it's true ... but our job descriptions miss one of the best parts of working at Chainguard! 🙊 🏝️🏝️🏝️ I don't hang out on "Fed Island." 🏝️🏝️🏝️ Public Sector needs are both critically important to the business _and_ aren't the only thing we do. Their #appsec needs are genuinely heard and addressed by our product and engineering teams. 💖 It was COMPLETELY JAW-DROPPING the first time someone in engineering said "we'll just rebuild it for #FIPS too" like it was 👏 no 👏 big 👏 deal 👏 to consider these missions too. This happened in my first week at Chainguard. There are terrifyingly complex applications in our catalog that we ship with FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography and 0 CVEs to POA&M. Neither are we the only thing the business does. I'm so fortunate to be a part of a bigger team learning from and contributing to engineering, customer success, product, and private sector enterprise sales teams. Our team's unity in diversity is a tremendous strength - we're doing **_so well, so fast_** that we're hiring to build out our Public Sector go-to-market team. 🚀 Come secure the world's most impactful software with Kenneth Melero and myself! 🚀 Job reqs and links below 👇
