I am a high-energy software professional working as a VP of Product Management at McAfee leading the Cloud Security (CASB), Web Gateway and DLP Product lines. I have rich and diverse experience in building products in both SAAS-based Enterprise Software (Oracle, Hightail - formerly YouSendIt, WebEx, Vitalect) and also in Consumer Internet (Yahoo! Messenger - Voice and Video)
I am passionate about Product Management and the process of identifying underlying end-user problems and use cases and then leading the specification and development of high-tech products and services to solve for them.
Not long ago, security concerns were the number one reason IT executives hesitated to move workloads to the cloud. Much has changed since then. Security is now considered one of the great strengths of both cloud infrastructure and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms. But that doesn’t mean total security is assured. The most hardened platforms in the world are only as effective as the people who use them.
But those obstacles have also given rise to new innovations like Security Service Edge. It redefines controls at the user rather than the device level. This enables IT organizations to extend the same set of policies on endpoints all the way to the cloud such that they work consistently for all data, whether on AWS S3 storage or in a Microsoft 365 folder.
