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.

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

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.

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.

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.
