In this episode of Net Effects Podcast, Mark Bavisotto and guest host Salil Kulkarni (President/CEO and Founder of Vichaar, LLC) talk with Palo Santo Networks President Amit Singh about cybersecurity and its potential as “one of the most vibrant fields for innovation.”

Amit attributes his success and journey to his dad’s wisdom. Amit grew up in India and traveled to America to get his Master’s degree. Upon graduation from Rensselaer with a Master’s in Industrial and Management Engineering, he joined Oracle as a software engineer in the early 90s. He rose to VP of Sales within the company and in 2007, and realized that the future of computing was the Cloud. He joined Google Enterprise and led Google from a consumer-focused company to an enterprise.

In 2018, he joined Palo Alto Networks (PANW) — a leader in cybersecurity with core products that include advanced firewalls and cloud-based offerings. Amit shares predictions for the next normal as informed by decades of experience in leading digital enterprise initiatives.
