Okta's former security chief explains why he's joining $25 billion Splunk to help it securely move to the cloud

Abousselham was attracted by Splunk's growth potential in its products, number of customers, and geographical expansion. The company makes products to help developers track and analyze the immense amount of data being generated by modern software and IT infrastructure, in order to diagnose problems and ward against cyberattackers.

Abousselham says that growth will be a challenge, but it's a welcome one. In its latest earnings in November, Splunk reported that its software revenues grew 40% from the previous year, and total revenues grew 30%. Now as CISO, Abousselham's goal is to continue Splunk's work in securing cloud infrastructure. Splunk started as a company that offered products in on-premise data centers, but it's gradually been moving to the cloud. He says security is more of a journey than a destination, and will require constant vigilance.
