“Mike’s security philosophy aligns perfectly with Fastly's vision for securing the future of edge computing,” commented Paul Luongo, General Counsel and SVP of Trust at Fastly. “We’re thrilled to welcome Mike to our executive team, and look forward to continuing to build trust with our enterprise customers, and to strengthen our work as a security-first organization.”
