ATLANTA, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Siemba Inc, today announced that the company has appointed Sajan Gautam, cybersecurity expert and former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at the Arvest Bank and SVP of Global Information Security at CITI, to its Advisory Board.

 

 

Sajan, transitioning from a senior cybersecurity executive to an advisor/investor, brings over two decades of experience across diverse information security positions, each with increasing levels of responsibility. He has successfully led and managed international teams, fostering close collaborations with startups, investors, and academic circles.

"Sajan's extensive background in strengthening cyber defenses against top-tier hackers and developing comprehensive cybersecurity strategies for global organizations adds unparalleled insight to Siemba's Advisory Board," stated Kannan Udayarajan, Founder and CEO of Siemba. "His expertise, honed over 2 decades, offers invaluable perspectives on the cybersecurity hurdles businesses encounter in the age of AI, along with enhanced advisory on governance and compliance."

Sajan's career also includes significant tenures at global organizations such as Citi and EY. With a deep-rooted passion for education, Sajan has shared his knowledge through teaching and guest lectures at universities on topics related to cybersecurity, in addition to serving on advisory boards. Currently, he dedicates his efforts towards the creation and growth of cybersecurity venture ecosystems within regions of high potential.

"I am impressed by Siemba's groundbreaking approach to Generative AI-driven Full Funnel Offensive Security, aligned with Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)," remarked Sajan. "The future of cybersecurity hinges on swiftly identifying, correlating, and prioritizing risks with speed, scale, and efficiency, all the while adhering to customer and compliance requirements. Siemba accomplishes this by consolidating various capabilities, which have traditionally been isolated, onto a single platform. I am thrilled about the transformative impact this will have on how organizations mitigate risk and look forward to engaging actively with the team."
