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

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.

Imagine starting a new job as an IT administrator. You’re tasked with inventorying and tracking your company’s AI assets. You diligently review documentation, speak with engineers, and compile what seems to be a complete inventory. But on presentation day, something feels off. Unknown AI API calls have occurred, and the cost dashboard shows numbers that don’t align with your report. Clearly, there’s more going on than meets the eye. This lack of visibility into existing AI

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.

Keynote on August 21, 2025 by our Founder & CEO "Accelerating Innovation and AI through Strong Governance and Cybersecurity"

For all the maturity cloud computing has achieved over the past decade, one painful truth remains: most organizations still struggle to configure cloud environments securely and scalably at the speed business demands. This challenge isn't new – but it has become more dangerous, more complex, and more consequential than ever.

In this month’s episode of CISO Stories, we dive deep into cloud security with cybersecurity veteran and cloud innovator Yogi Parulekar, founder of InviGrid. Against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions and tightening budgets, we explore how organizations can move from reactive security to proactive resilience. Yogi introduces the concept of “diagram to cloud” as a smarter, more efficient alternative to traditional “shift left” approaches, emphasizing secure-by-design p

With deep expertise in governance, infrastructure, and crisis response, Yogita discusses how the landscape of cyber threats has evolved dramatically, moving from relatively isolated risks to complex, interconnected threats fueled by AI, deepfakes, disinformation, and geopolitical uncertainty.

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, cloud adoption is no longer optional — it’s foundational. With over 70% of workloads projected to run in the cloud by 2028, organizations must do more than “lift and shift.” They must govern smartly. And as GenAI accelerates the pace of innovation, cloud governance becomes the silent force that can either unlock growth — or quietly sabotage it.

In today's episode of Reporting Norms, we dive into the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity and cloud governance with a special guest, Yogita Parulekar, CEO of Invi Grid Inc. Yogita's impressive journey from foundational roles at EY and Oracle to pioneering a no-code secure cloud infrastructure orchestration platform is truly inspiring. Recognized as one of the top 150 women fighting cybercrime, she shares her insights on the challenges and innovations in cybersecurity.

Thank you to Steve Zalewski, ex-CISO of Levi Strauss and Advisor to Invi Grid Inc. for this fireside chat with our Founder Yogita Parulekar to tease out interesting insights as to why the problem of not getting cloud right still persists and has only become more dangerous,
