After 11 years with Foundstone/McAfee/Intel, I jumped at the opportunity to join Stuart McClure in his next venture. Together with other inaugural members we built Cylance from a static webpage and a DNS server into the disruptive next-gen AV it soon became. Over the next six years, we would develop automation for deployment and management of machine learning farms, sample analysis workflows, and development support. We established an operations team and network operations center, a SecOps team to align corporate and cloud security initiatives and to streamline compliance efforts, a DataOps team to collaborate with development teams on database/cache performance and efficiency, and an automation team focused on supporting all efforts in an idempotent and certifiable fashion. Cylance taught me more lessons both technical and personal than any role I'd held before. Our growth was simply stratospheric, with customer and device counts doubling regularly, often outstripping available resources and requiring rapid innovation. This was not an easy role, but one I am grateful and honored to have had.
