Partially Redacted: Data, AI, Security, and Privacy

’Cybersecurity is Failing Us’ with Skyflow’s Anshu Sharma


Listen Later

In this episode, Anshu Sharma, CEO and co-founder of Skyflow highlights the alarming disparity between the millions of dollars companies invest in cybersecurity and the persistent occurrence of breaches and cyber attacks. Despite these hefty investments, current approaches to cybersecurity are simply not enough to protect customer data. It's like putting a bandaid on a broken arm - it might temporarily cover the problem, but it won't heal the underlying issue.

According to Anshu, what we truly need is a security by default approach. We require systems that not only secure customer Personally Identifiable Information (PII) but also understand and handle the various types of workflows involving PII. This means implementing measures that go beyond mere protection and actively support the necessary tasks and operations involving sensitive data.

Skyflow has developed technology that addresses these challenges. Skyflow not only ensures the security of PII but also supports the specific workflows associated with it. By doing so, Skyflow's technology effectively insulates applications from the burdensome responsibility of managing customer data, allowing organizations to focus on their core business objectives.

Topics:

  • Are we getting better at protecting customer data or worse?
  • Why has the software industry failed at cybersecurity?

  • What inspired you to start Skyflow, and how does your solution address the current challenges with cybersecurity in the software industry?

  • How do you see the software industry evolving in terms of cybersecurity in the next few years, and what role do you think companies like Skyflow will play in this transformation?
  • What’s next for Skyflow?
