3018: Tesco and the Future of Retail Security

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore the evolving landscape of cybersecurity in retail with Veroniki Stamati, Director of Security Engineering and Operations at Tesco. Veroniki's experience spans a variety of industries, including online platforms like PokerStars and Skyscanner, giving her a unique perspective on how technology can drive innovation while ensuring security.

Veroniki shares her transition from the travel and entertainment industries to the retail sector, offering insights into how Tesco harnesses technology to protect its vast customer base. She delves into her current role, where she leads a team focused on building secure products, while balancing the need for innovation and security. We discuss Tesco's forward-thinking approach to security, which includes principles like "everything as code" and integrating security within product development and platform delivery.

Throughout the conversation, Veroniki sheds light on the most pressing security threats facing the retail industry today, such as data theft, customer-targeted scams, and the impact of regulatory changes. We also touch on the exciting role that generative AI is playing in shaping the future of security operations, especially in data management.

Diversity in tech is another key focus. Veroniki highlights Tesco's efforts to increase female representation and foster diversity of thought within security roles. Programs like "train, deploy, hire," along with partnerships with STEM programs and tech colleges, are creating new opportunities for a diverse talent pool to enter the security space.
