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

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.

As AI systems move from experimentation into production, the way infrastructure is deployed and governed is fundamentally changing. Traditional cloud security models were built around human-operated environments where infrastructure changes happened relatively slowly and predictably. Agentic AI changes that dynamic entirely. Developers are building at warp speed and expecting infra, security and compliance at the same pace of innovation. They are not slowing down to figure

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

#InternationalWomensDay interview with Yogita Parulekar, CEO & Founder of Invi Grid Inc., explores how AI and multi-cloud scale quietly erode ownership and governance. “Security is not a product, but a process.” AI agents operate with their own identities. Governance must move in real time. #LeadHerInSecurity #WomenInCybersecurity #Cloud #AIGovernance #DevSecOps

Generative AI, as we see it today, is like a junior, overconfident consultant who is eager to please and sounds convincing even when the information isn’t fully correct. An AI Agent, who takes this to the next level, is like this new employee who may end up taking actions on your behalf based on the consultant’s advice. Overzealous actions of untrained or unsupervised new AI Agent with access to sensitive systems can cause harm to the company. The evolution from AI that gener

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. Understanding Control Loss in Multi-Cloud Environments The Chall

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

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

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.
