Maya is a Product Manager at GitHub in software supply chain security. She was previously in Security & Privacy at Google, focused on container security, and encryption at rest and encryption key management. In this extremely fun episode Maya tackles Software Supply Chain Security, Exploits and shares best practices along with how GitHub tools can help. We then delve into her love of puzzles. not jigsaw puzzles but cryptic puzzles and other fascinating things that keep her mind sharp. After this interview i started to get hooked on puzzles... THANKS MAYA! Maya is down to earth and brilliant. We are happy she did the popcast with us and this episode is a treat for all of you!
