1. Tell us about yourself and your role at Concentric AI?
I am the Founder and CEO of Concentric AI, a company I founded with Shankar Subramaniam and Madhu Shashanka. I’ve been a part of the security industry for years, at HPE, Niara, PGP and Juniper Networks. I met with lots of customers and every one of them – and I do mean every one – was struggling to secure their mission critical data. They were trying to use data loss prevention (DLP) or Data Access Governance, but the state of the art there was pretty miserable. Data is the most vulnerable threat surface for most enterprises and the tools to help protect data were woefully lacking. We decided to work on changing that.
