Billie Grace Ward
VP, Head of Cloud Security at Two Sigma
New York, NY, United States
Details
Experience:
I head our Cloud Security practice across major cloud platforms and services leading a team of security architects and engineers focused on maximizing value and ROI from cloud services offerings while protecting our trade secrets and adhering to our regulatory and fiduciary obligations. In addition, my team is working to apply novel research and emerging security practices in the domain of generative artificial intelligence, a natural extension of our mission scope as deep learning and large language models become standard features in the cloud services we leverage and secure. In this role, I'm passionate and excited to embrace a future combining machine intelligence with novel models of computing and the delightful puzzles presented by new classes of security risks and the shift from old models of perimeter and access controls to new models of resource capability and confidential computing. It's an exciting time to be in tech and I look forward to collaborating with like-minded peers towards the future we've anticipated for decades.

About
I love solving puzzles, particularly complex systems architectures. I am absolutely enthusiastic about the evolution of machine learning and generative artificial intelligence becoming part of my standard security toolkit, and equally as passionate and excited about the novel puzzles and challenges presented by AI as adversary. I have decades of experience in tech and cybersecurity but have never been so excited for a paradigm shift in my field as now.
