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

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

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:

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

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

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.

The security community has been very focused on assessing, identifying risks, threats, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and the tools at their disposal have been growing and providing amazing and clearer insights and visibility into the risks, attack surface, and potential exposure and current attacks.

In the latest episode of the Hub Scale's Podcast, David Loader sat down with our Founder & CEO, Yogita Parulekar to discuss important concepts of 'Secure by design in the Cloud' and Zero Trust. Listen in to Yogita breaking down what secure by design means for the cloud, how does it compare with zero trust and what are some practical ways in which zero trust can be incorporated as you secure your cloud the right way, by design, day zero and beyond as you scale and grow.

As businesses continue to migrate their operations to the cloud, maintaining a secure digital environment remains paramount. Among the keys

Picture this scenario: you hand your 2-year-old a piece of paper and a yellow crayon. The paper has a large empty circle printed on it. You tell your kid to color inside the circle and then you leave the room. When you return after the task is completed, you see that the circle is colored, but some strokes have spilled outside the circle in many places.
