We all care about the security of our data, especially in a world where cyber-attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated making us a little more vulnerable. That's what we'll be discussing with our guest today, to get more insight on the subject. Watch this podcast about cybersecurity and privacy with Ganesh Krishnan and Punit Bhatia.
KEY CONVERSATION POINTS
Difference between cybersecurity and security
Data Protection and Cybersecurity
Scalability of the security organization
Challenges of the cybersecurity landscape
ABOUT THE GUEST
Meet Ganesh Krishnan, a cybersecurity superhero with over 25 years of experience protecting the digital world from cyber threats. As a two-time founder with a track record of success at some of the world's top tech companies, he's earned a reputation as a thought leader at the forefront of cybersecurity. Now at the helm of Anzenna, his latest security startup, he's out to revolutionize the industry by making cybersecurity accessible to every employee, not just the security team.
Ganesh first realized his passion for digital security in college, working in the Purdue University cybersecurity lab. After earning his master's in Computer Science in 1997, he immediately got to work in the industry. Over the next two decades he worked his way to top-level security and engineering roles at companies like Yahoo!, LinkedIn, and Atlassian, as well landing a spot on the Forbes Technology Council.
In 2017 Ganesh launched his first company, an AI-powered cybersecurity startup called Avid Secure, which was acquired after only 18 months. But despite his success, he wasn’t content to rest on his laurels. He realized that in order to meet the challenges that lie ahead in the field of cybersecurity, the industry needed a paradigm shift. So he launched a new company, Anzenna, with a simple yet powerful goal: to reimagine cybersecurity by empowering every employee with simple and effective security tools. They may be just getting started, but if Ganesh’s past performance is any indicator, the world of digital security is about to change forever.

Privacy compliance is crucial for startups. Failing to comply with privacy regulations can result in legal and financial repercussions, damage to reputation, and loss of customer trust. Startups must therefore take steps to ensure they are meeting relevant privacy regulations and standards.
Take a listen to conversation between Nia Castelly and Punit Bhatia for more about privacy compliance in context of start-ups.
KEY CONVERSATION POINTS

As our digital ecosystem grows, companies are facing new privacy regulations globally– in the US alone this year, 5 different states are adding or amending data privacy laws that businesses must adhere to. For instance, the recently announced NIST AI RMF 1.0 framework is anticipated to significantly influence the development and use of AI technologies (like ChatGPT) and will mirror the impact of the GDPR and CCPA on companies.
Nia is uniquely positioned as an attorney and startup founder backed by Google to talk about the changing privacy regulatory landscape and innovative tech solutions needed to streamline compliance across digital products.
