    Onapsis | CEO Mariano Nunez on Securing SAP Applications

    Mariano founded Onapsis back in 2009 to address the challenges securing a growing new class of technology: ERP systems. After working at CYBSEC for 5 years doing offensive security research, he discovered just how vulnerable SAP applications could be. Onapsis is sneakily a juggernaut, having raised a $55 million Series D in 2020. And while they started focused on SAP, they have since expanded into related tools such as Oracle. They have certainly established themselves as core to securing an often overlooked component of IT infrastructure. In the conversation we discuss the founding story, why SAP couldn't do this themselves, and how he has thought about growth opportunities over the last 16 years. Website

    FusionAuth | CTO Brian Pontarelli on Bootstrapping and Customer Identity

    Brian Pontarelli is co-founder and CTO of FusionAuth. FusionAuth helps companies easily roll authentication workflows for their public facing applications.

    Andromeda | CTO Kamal Muralidharan on Offshore Development and Identity Sprawl

    Kamal is co-founder and CTO at Andromeda, which is building an identity management solution to help companies better understand their identity footprint and manage excessive permissions across disparate platforms. Kamal uses the term "digital incarnation" which resonated with me given the number of accounts a single human may have across different platforms. Kamal worked as an engineer and engineering leader for two decades across Oracle, Ebay, and Paypal before starting Andromeda in 2023. In the episode, we start by discussing his experience working as an offshore developer in India and how that influences his own perspective on leveraging offshore teams today. We also cover the cultural differences at eBay and Paypal, how that influenced his security mindset, the origin story of Andromeda, and the future of identity.

    Dreamit Cyber Founders Summit: David Cass (CISO) from GSR

    This episode was recorded live at the Dreamit Cyber Founders Summit during RSA. Huge thanks to the Dreamit team for including me during their inaugural event! David Cass is the CISO at GSR, which is a cryptocurrency market maker. For the finance uninitiated, that basically means they buy and sell cryptocurrencies in large volumes to then buy and sell to other parties. As a result, David's role entails a lot more than the average CISO. As he will mention, it is his job to secure GSR's corporate IT like any CISO, but he also has to sign off that the cryptocurrencies they are trading are secure enough to hold a financial position without undue risk to the company. David therefore has one of the most advanced perspectives on the cybersecurity controls for cryptocurrencies. In the conversation we discussed his views on the productization of web3 security, cryptocurrency regulation, and the successes behind his CISO community CISOs connect. GSR Dreamit

    Securiti AI | CEO Rehan Jalil on Building Three Nine-Figure Businesses

    Rehan is CEO and founder of Securiti AI, which is providing a data command center to help organizations secure and enable their data for AI use cases. Rehan as an incredible track record which we discuss in more detail on the episode. He sold his first company for $180 million, and his second company for $280 million. Securiti AI has already raised $180 million to date from top tier investors, and they are geared up for an even bigger number. I was incredibly impressed with his track record identifying landmark technology trends and then building differentiated businesses with tailwinds from those trends. In the episode we walk through how each of these experiences built on one another, the rationale for each business, and how Securiti AI is positioned at the intersection of three of the most pivotal technology growth areas: data, AI, and cybersecurity.

In the episode we discuss his core tenets of successful marketing in cybersecurity, the promise and challenges of cloud infrastructure entitlements management, the value of his time as an entrepreneur in residence, and how he has constantly reevaluated strategy at Blueflag informed by his previous experience.
