Some names become familiar long before you get the chance to meet the person. For me, Rahul Sasi is one of those names.

Through my work in cybersecurity, I had often heard his name and about his work. His journey from an ethical hacker and security researcher to building CloudSEK is something I admire.

Meeting Rahul at GISEC and taking this photograph together was a happy moment for me. Coming from the same place makes me feel particularly proud of what he has built and how far his work has reached.

Rahul founded CloudSEK in 2015, bringing his security research experience into solving real cybersecurity problems. CloudSEK helps organisations identify external cyber threats and protect their digital assets. Behind that progress are the efforts of a founder and a team working on challenges that matter to businesses every day.

As someone working in the same field, I appreciate the effort it takes to turn technical knowledge into a product, build a team, and earn the trust of customers. Having an idea is one step. Building it into a company and continuing to move it forward takes commitment.

GISEC brings together people, ideas, and technologies from across the cybersecurity industry. This meeting was a personal highlight for me a chance to put a shared photograph alongside a name I had heard so often.

Proud of what you and your team have built, Rahul. Wishing you and CloudSEK continued success and many more milestones ahead.
