In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Joshua Scott, Vice President of Security at Hydrolix and a veteran with nearly 30 years of experience turning complex security risks into clear business value. Josh shares how Hydrolix is redefining what’s possible with massive-scale log data—processing everything from terabytes to petabytes and delivering insights in seconds.

Josh breaks down why security leaders must speak the language of business, translating technical risk into financial and operational impact to earn executive alignment. He also unpacks the challenges of securing data at extreme velocity and scale, the growing need for automation, and why the next generation of security leaders will win by leveraging AI as an accelerator—not a replacement.
