Google's security princess talks cybersecurity

Parisa Tabriz, manages Google’s Chrome security engineering teams, and gave a keynote at PyCon US this year.

Her talk was even-keeled, informative, and included strong FOSS messaging about everyone's vested interest in internet security and privacy. After the talk was done, I watched her take audience questions (long enough for me to take a short conference call) where she patiently and handily fielded all manner of queries from up and down the stack.

Folks who have dealt with crisis and high-pressure, like 911 operators, surgeons, or starship pilots, exude a certain aura of steadiness in all seas. I felt safer just hearing her keynote, and in watching her Q&A with the audience afterwards, you could sense that stalwart orbit of Zen tempering Parisa's moves and words. Elitism is the foil of consensus, and her concern for the integrity of the chain of security—only as strong as the weakest link—is a concern for all netizens, not just hackers. All boats must rise with the tide, and I sure sleep much better knowing Parisa is on watch to help make sure they do.
