\u201cOur users place a lot of trust in Google and we take that responsibility very seriously. You\u2019ll see it in our Risk & Insurance team, but you\u2019ll also see it integrated throughout the business and everything we do. Security is core to how we operate as a company.\u201d \u2014 Monica Shokrai

\u201cOur team has to \u2026 integrate with all the different businesses, understand all the different risks, and then bring it together in a unified insurance program. \u2026 The way that we structure our team mirrors the need for risk management within our business.\u201d \u2014 Monica Shokrai

\u201cThe main focus of our session [at RISKWORLD 2022] will be on cyber risk and how the Cloud can help companies with risk management through reducing their risk and increasing their security.\u201d \u2014 Monica Shokrai

\u201cI think having a community of women \u2026 to go to when you\u2019re facing something that might be specifically correlated with gender, is extremely helpful. [It\u2019s] something that\u2019s helped me navigate my career.\u201d \u2014 Monica Shokrai
