Former Zynga CSO: Innovate or Die

For the past three years, Nils Puhlmann was head of security for Zynga, the social games company that created mega-hits Farmville and Words With Friends.
Managing Zynga's converged security department was a challenging job that Puhlmann says has left him ready for a break. But don't expect him to be relaxing for too long. Puhlmann is also the co-founder of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), a community of over 33,000 security professionals worldwide that promotes the use of best practices for security in cloud computing. His work with CSA continues to evolve. Puhlmann recently spoke with CSO about his plans for the next chapter of his career and what changes hed like to see the security industry adopt.
