The Founder to Fortune Podcast Dear Cybersecurity Founder, Here’s Why We Ignore You (And How To Fix It)
In this episode, we go inside the minds of two powerhouse CISOs—Rinki Sethi (Upwind, ex-Twitter, Rubrik, Bill.com) and Lucas Moody (Alteryx, ex-Palo Alto Networks)—as they unpack what it really takes to secure an enterprise in today’s world of AI, multi-cloud sprawl, and constant threat exposure.
They talk candidly about:
* The evolving role of the CISO—from reactive firewalls to boardroom influence
* Why some vendors gain trust while others get ignored
* The hidden complexity behind “simple” security practices like IAM
* What early-stage founders consistently get wrong—and how to fix it
* The parallel lessons from cloud, mobile, and now GenAI transformations
If you’re building for the enterprise, selling to CISOs, or investing in cybersecurity, this is a blueprint you can’t afford to miss.
