Dave DeWalt, former CEO of FireEye and McAfee, has been appointed vice chair of the board of Onapsis, a vendor focused on securing business-critical applications, such as ERP and CRM. In this exclusive interview with Information Security Media Group, DeWalt opens up on business application vulnerabilities, the evolution of the nation-state threat and technologies to watch in 2020.
"When you look at business-critical applications, they have become one of the main areas of attack," DeWalt says.
These applications, such as SAP, Oracle and Salesforce, have always contained critical data.
"Suddenly we have vulnerability to major business applications ... in a way we hadn't seen before." he says.
DeWalt, former CEO of FireEye and McAfee, now serves as the CEO of NightDragon Security, a cybersecurity investment and advisory firm that he founded.
