Portrait of Rémi Cattiau

Rémi Cattiau

Chief Information Security Officer

San Clemente, California · remi.cattiau.com

I lead security at Arize AI, where my team runs the program that lets a fast-growing AI company earn the trust of enterprise and regulated customers: compliance, application and cloud security, risk, and the security side of every customer contract.

I came to security from engineering. Fifteen years as a developer, architect and product lead taught me how software actually gets built, so I favor security that ships with the product instead of slowing it down. I still write code: I maintain the open-source Webda framework and run my own Kubernetes infrastructure.
