Nakul Munjal has worked in the cybersecurity industry since 2003. In 2006, he administered the first computer-based bar exam in the country. In 2009, as part of the founding team for IBM Security Systems in New York, he helped multiple Wall Street banks, insurance companies and rating agencies navigate new cybersecurity requirements resulting from the 2008 financial crisis. He is regarded as a subject matter expert in Identity and Access Management technologies, where he was an executive covering North America and Latin America for Micro Focus. Nakul began Status Identity after observing Chief Security Officers often struggle with inconvenient security controls that cause productivity losses in their organizations. With increasingly stringent cybersecurity policies through GDPR, NYDFS, FISMA and others; this problem was compounding. Nakul is passionate about reducing the security burden on individuals while preserving their privacy and digital rights. He believes that the distribution of personal data must be limited; and can be effectively used to empower users. Nakul holds a Bachelors in Biology and Economics from the University of Colorado, Boulder and an MBA with Honors from Babson College
