The latest news and insights from Google on security and safety on the Internet
Celebrating the influence and contributions of Black+ Security & Privacy Googlers
February 25, 2021
Posted by Royal Hansen, Vice President, Security
Black History Month may be coming to a close, but our work to build sustainable equity for Google’s Black+ community, and externally is ongoing. Currently, Black Americans make up
less than 12%
of information security analysts in the U.S. In an industry that consistently requires new ideas to spark positive change and stand out against the status quo, it is necessary to have individuals who think, speak, and act in diverse ways. Diverse security teams are more innovative, produce better products and enhance an organization's ability to defend against
cyber threats
.
In an effort to amplify the contributions of the Black+ community to security and privacy fields, we’ll be sharing profiles of Black+ Googlers working on innovative privacy and security solutions over the coming weeks, starting with Camille Stewart, Google’s Head of Security Policy for Google Play and Android.
Camille co-founded
#ShareTheMicInCyber
, an initiative that pairs Black security practitioners with prominent allies, lending their social media platforms to the practitioners for the day. The goal is to break down barriers, engage the security community, and promote sustained action. The #ShareTheMicInCyber campaign will highlight Black women in the security and privacy sector on LinkedIn and Twitter on March 19, 2021 and throughout March 2021 in celebration of Women's History Month. Follow the #ShareTheMicInCyber on March 19th to support and amplify Black women in security and privacy.

#ShareTheMicInCyber: Camille Stewart
Today, we will hear from Camille Stewart, she leads security, privacy, election integrity, and dis/misinformation policy efforts for Google's mobile business. She also spearheads a cross-Google security initiative that sets the strategic vision and objectives for Google’s engagement on security and privacy issues.
In her (not so) spare time, Camille is co-founder of the
#ShareTheMicInCyber
initiative – which aims to elevate the profiles, work, and lived experiences of Black cyber practitioners. This initiative has garnered
national
and international attention and has been a force for educating and bringing awareness to the challenges Black security practitioners face in industry. Camille is also a cybersecurity fellow at Harvard University, New America and Truman National Security Project. She sits on the board of the
International Foundation for Electoral Systems
and of
Girl Security
, an organization that is working to close the gender gap in national security through learning, training, and mentoring support for girls.
Why do you work in security or privacy?
I work in this space to empower people in and through technology by translating and solving the complex challenges that lie at the intersection of technology, security, society, and the law.
Tell us a little bit about your career journey to Google
Before life at Google, I managed cybersecurity, election security, tech innovation, and risk issues at Deloitte. Prior to that, I was appointed by President Barack Obama to be the Senior Policy Advisor for Cyber Infrastructure & Resilience Policy at the Department of Homeland Security. I was the Senior Manager of Legal Affairs at Cyveillance, a cybersecurity company after working on Capitol Hill.
What is your security or privacy "soapbox"?
Right now, I have a few. Users being intentional about their digital security similar to their physical security especially with their mobile devices and apps. As creators of technology, we need to be more intentional about how we educate our users on safety and security. At Google, security is core to everything we do and build, it has to be. We recently launched our Safer With Google campaign which I believe is a great resource for helping users better understand their security and privacy journey.
As an industry, we need to make meaningful national and international progress on digital supply chain transparency and security.
Lastly, the fact that systemic racism is a cybersecurity threat. I recently
penned a piece
for the Council on Foreign Relations that explores how racism influences cybersecurity and what we must do as an industry to address it.
