Inside the Containment Era — Doug Merritt on Why Cloud Security Has to Get Back to First Principles

Alan Shimel with Doug Merritt

In this episode of TechStrong TV, Alan Shimel sits down with Doug Merritt — Chairman, CEO and President of Aviatrix and former CEO of Splunk — for a wide-ranging conversation about the shift from the detect-and-respond era he helped define at Splunk to what he's now calling the containment era. They cover why 15 years into public cloud the network has become the most overlooked runtime cyber control, why default-deny and micro-segmentation finally become practical thanks to AI and intent-based policy, and how Aviatrix is bringing first-principles network security back to AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI to shrink the blast radius of inevitable breaches.
