Kirsty Paine

Kirsty Paine

Field CTO, EMEA

Splunk

Kirsty Paine is a Field CTO, EMEA at Splunk. Her role is to help organizations to achieve their strategic goals with data, and accelerate their strategic journey (or get it started). Working in cyber security for nearly a decade means her long-standing mantra is simple and straightforward: "Make Good Choices". She's a firm believer that the right data - and asking the right questions - always helps to make better decisions.

Kirsty's background in cyber security stems from her mathematical roots, built on by her time working for the UK National Cyber Security Centre, where she spent years specialising in security, privacy and internet technologies. There, she often joked that her job was to look after two simple things: the security of 1) the internet and 2) all of its things. This role required a lot of technical strategy, coupled with international engagement across industry, and quite a lot of patience.

When not finding or fixing problems, Kirsty can usually be found in the gym or surrounded by sushi (making it, eating it, or both).
