Listen "Staff augmentation in security with Troy Santana "
Episode Synopsis
Staff augmentation is the idea of augmenting your internal staff with consultants and tools to give you the collective knowledge of security experts for all teams. We sit down with security consultant Troy Santana to discuss exactly what staff augmentation looks like and how it can be implemented.
Troy Santana joins us as a Sales Engineer for Critical Start.
