In this episode, we sit down with Piyush Sharrma, CEO and co-founder of the Tuskira team. They're an AI-powered defense optimization platform innovating around leveraging an Agentic Security Mesh.

We will dive into topics such as Platform vs. Point Solutions, Security Tool Sprawl, Alert Fatigue, and how AI can create "intelligent" layers to unify and enhance security tooling ROI.

We discussed:

• What drove Piyush to jump back into the startup space after successfully exiting from a previous startup he helped found
• The industry debate around Platform vs. Point Solutions or Best-of-Breed and the perspectives between industry industry leaders and innovative startups
• Dealing with the challenge of alert fatigue security and development teams and the role of AI in reducing cognitive overload and providing insight into organizational risks across tools, tech stacks, and architectures
• The role of AI in providing intelligence layers or an Agentic Security Mesh across existing security tools and defenses and mitigating organizational risks beyond isolated vulnerability scans by looking at compensating controls, configurations, and more.
• Shifting security from a reactionary model around incident response and exploitation to a preemptive risk defense model that minimizes attack surface and optimizes existing security investments and architectures
