Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You have quite a distinguished career in security and cryptography-adjacent. Tell us a little bit about your background, and what you focus on at MongoDB?

Topic 2 - Unfortunately, we’re hearing about more and more attacks that have an internal origination. From a security and cryptography perspective, what typically breaks down to allow this to happen?

Topic 3 - MongoDB has recently launched a database that enables querying encrypted data. Give us some background on how this new concept came into being.

Topic 4 - What are the technology components involved in making this happen - on the database side, on the application side, on the key management side?

Topic 5 - What are some of the application use-cases where this new database technology makes sense?

Topic 6 - How can people start exploring this technology? Is it available in both the software and SaaS offerings?
