Infographic showing how InviGrid aligns with MIT STPA by replacing broken handoffs between architecture, security, cloud engineering, and operations with a governed cloud control loop across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Five Eyes warns that AI is shrinking the cyber clock. Learn why secure by design must start before cloud deployment and extend to the AI agents inside your environment.

A recent attack against Microsoft Entra ID demonstrated how incomplete Conditional Access coverage allowed Azure CLI sign-ins to bypass expected MFA protections.

Getting ahead of AI Multicloud risk - a CIO's guide to preventing Shadow AI and turning governance into a competitive advantage

Artificial intelligence is extending just changing how software is built to changing how cyber conflict, critical infrastructure, and enterprise risk are being discussed at the highest levels. A recent article in The Independent by Anthony Cuthberson (which has since been syndicated across major publications including Yahoo, AOL, and MSN, proving the urgency of this topic), examines what an AI-driven cyber conflict could look like as increasingly capable AI systems begin d

As AI agents become trusted participants in cloud operations, governance must scale alongside automation. Learn why continuous AI infrastructure governance is essential for secure, compliant deployment.

Imagine a world where cybersecurity isn’t a bottleneck, but your secret weapon for rapid, secure innovation. Yogita, CEO of Invigrid, drops truth bombs that could reshape how your organization builds and protects in the AI era. Are silos, slow security checks, and misconfigurations holding you back? It’s time to think first principles and revolutionize your process before AI makes the gap even wider. Yogita reveals how the old paradigms of security are failing in a hyper-s

For years, Heroku simplified infrastructure. Push code. Deploy instantly. Scale without worrying about servers, networking, or runtime management. It lowered the barrier to shipping software. It helped define how a generation of developers learned to build. “Git push to deploy” changed how products launched and how engineering teams operated. That model worked for a long time. But the environment around it has changed drastically and exponentially.

AI is revolutionizing how we build, operate, and secure infrastructure. As organizations juggle both AI and traditional workloads across multi-cloud environments, maintaining control, ownership, and accountability becomes increasingly challenging yet crucial. In this conversation, InviGrid CEO Yogita Parulekar shares insights on agentic AI, governance, and the operational realities shaping modern infrastructure.

Agentic AI is advancing at breakneck speed, with daily breakthroughs reshaping what’s possible. One recent one being Clawdbot, or OpenClaw. Clawdbot is like a guest who might overstay their welcome. You can invite it even if you know it, but it might not always do what you expect. That said, Clawdbot is an AI that basically controls your whole system and can perform operations such as reading your inbox, sending emails, checking in for your flights, sending text messages, and

2025 will be remembered as the year security failures stopped being “incidents” and started becoming board-level crises. Industries, large enterprises, and fast-scaling companies alike suffered breaches that resulted in billions of dollars in direct losses, reputational damage, market-value destruction, regulatory fines, and weeks of operational paralysis. This exposed how fragile modern cloud and AI infrastructure really is when governance does not keep pace with automati

InviGrid was built on a simple belief: cloud governance is broader than security, and without full visibility, even mature cloud environments can hide meaningful risk and waste. That belief was validated when a global, multi-billion-dollar technology company used InviGrid Intelligent Cloud to examine its multi-cloud environment and uncovered $1.2 million in cloud cost savings despite going in with the expectation that there would be very little left to find.

Artificial intelligence-enhancement of operations, services and data products is the prime topic in corporate strategy sessions, yet the results are sobering. Studies from MIT and Stanford show that a clear majority of AI initiatives implemented over the last six to 12 months are failing to deliver value or working on the wrong problem.

Security leaders are moving as fast as their budgets and practical organizational considerations allow them to embrace security principles like “secure-by-design”, “zero trust,” and “defense in depth” to strengthen cybersecurity and resilience. Yogesh Badwe, CSO at Druva

Enterprise cloud infrastructure security doesn’t happen casually. It’s only achieved as a deliberate, engineered outcome. As Gopal Padinjaruveetil — VP & CISO of the Auto Club Group of a 122-year-old American Automobile Association (AAA) — says, it’s “secure by design, not by chance.”

The CIO role is no longer confined to managing infrastructure or keeping the lights on. If you’re still defining your job that way, you’re behind. Today’s CIOs are expected to operate as business strategists, risk mitigators, and above all, innovation enablers. From my own conversations with seasoned executives like Becky Wanta, a Global F50+ CIO and CTO with leadership experience at MGM Resorts International, Best Buy, PepsiCo and Wells Fargo, to name a few, one thing is cle

Speaking with Manuel Ramos of the SupplyCast: Voices in the Chain podcast in Lima, Peru, where there are now a growing number of startups and new businesses, many entrepreneurs think that innovation and artificial intelligence are something distant, almost unattainable. But as Yogita points out: “It's not at all unattainable. Today, there are countless open-source models to learn, cloud credits to experiment with, and free online courses. The key is to take the initiative.”

The AI Realized Podcast is for enterprise leaders, AI practitioners, and innovators who are turning ambitious ideas into measurable business outcomes. Drawing inspiration from the annual AI Realized Summit, each episode delivers practical insights from executives and industry experts who are deploying AI at scale.

In a recent panel Beyond Ransomeware: Safeguarding Identity, Cloud and Data, organized by our Partner Cowbell Insurance, Founder & CEO, Yogita Parulekar explains "Cloud is an engine for your innovations. But only when configured securely from the beginning, well architected and cost optimized. Here are some specific recommendations to start with:
