Prabath Karanth Chats about Cybersecurity at a Startup During a Pandemic

TechSpective Podcast Episode 084

The world has changed in dramatic ways over the past couple of years. The COVID-19 pandemic forced an overnight shift to a remote, work-from-home business model and accelerated digital transformation efforts. Those changes have cybersecurity consequences–making the attack surface more complex and introducing new risks for attackers to take advantage of.

Prabath Karanth, Head of Security Assurance, Compliance, and Trust for TripActions joins me to talk about some of the challenges of managing cybersecurity under these conditions. I spoke with Prabath previously while he was with Adobe, so we touched on the difference between working cybersecurity in a smaller, high-growth startup instead of a large, established enterprise like Adobe.

Check out the full episode for more insights on cybersecurity challenges and best practices and how to effectively hire and retain cybersecurity talent.
