Anurag Gurtu from StrikeReady talks about the importance of cybersecurity and its rising significance.
1. Tell us how you came to be the CPO. How much of your typical day is involved in innovating new technology for your customers?
– My entire career revolved around customers. More specifically, understanding their problems and finding a solution.
– The foundation of my first startup foundation was consulting, with an ultimate goal to build a product and sell it to a big player. After a few years, this goal was accomplished, and the company was successfully acquired by Sun Microsystems.
– From there, I spent six years at Cisco in a product management role. During that time, I was learning how to work on disruptive technology and how to build things for scale.
– As for my typical day, I carry this problem-solving mentality in pretty much everything I do in my daily life. I always think about new ways to solve an existing problem, be it for a personal challenge or at a career level.
2. How did you define the vision of StrikeReady? How did you approach your first 100 days as the CPO?
StrikeReady is committed to squarely focus on the most foundational element in cybersecurity – you can think of us as the People with a simple goal: Empowering defenders.
In the first few days, we knew that there was only one way to achieve this vision, and that was to speak with hundreds of potential customers.

This is how I spent my time in the initial stage.
