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

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

#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

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. Salesforce's announceme

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

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.

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.”

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.”

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:

COMMENTARY: Security teams know very well that cloud technologies are fundamentally different. The traditional perimeter has disappeared. Any service, if misconfigured or compromised, can end up publicly exposed and discovered by automated bots scanning the internet.

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

Strengthening the Security Framework with Robust Cloud Security Strategies: Insights from Yogita Parulekar, Chief Executive Officer at InviGrid

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. Lear

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,

In this Fireside chat Steve asks Yogita a lot of questions and teases out some really interesting insights as to why she started Invi Grid, why this particular problem of cloud misconfigurations, why Invi Grid's secure by design approach is a paradigm shift, how does it solve the problem for Fortune 500 enterprises, mid-market companies and SMEs, and how does it see itself in the next few months and years moving the needle on cloud security with a frictionless yet adaptable a

Becky Wanta, ex CIO and CTO of MGM, BestBuy, PepsiCo and WellsFargo, deep dives into the role of the CIO in driving innovation and partnering with business to move the organization forward. Hear her highlight the need for strong fundamentals around process, and security to manage risk and support business strategy and innovation.
