# Comcast: Linux Efficacy @Scale

**Summary:**

The Compliance Team, Cyber Security teams, and System Engineers all have different requirements but do we need different agents? In this talk we will discuss how we decided to use osquery to solve diverse use cases. We’ll talk about how we discovered that a single agent could be used to provide visibility across the Linux footprint @scale.

This presentation was delivered as part of the osquery@scale 2020 conference.

**Speakers:**

Erin Palmer, Director of Endpoint Security, Comcast

Abubakar Yousafzai, Sr. Cyber Security Engineer, Comcast
