In today’s episode of Tech.Strong.Women. Jodi Ashley and Tracy Ragan are joined by Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. In an era of increasing cyber attacks, data security is critical, and Anneka Gupta from Rubrik emphasizes the need for strategies that ensure cyber resilience and recovery post-attack. Traditional prevention methods must now be complemented by proactive measures like protecting critical data and reactive approaches such as recovery planning. AI plays a growing role in identifying threats and automating responses, though it also introduces new security challenges. Gupta highlights the importance of diversity in developing robust security strategies and advocates for making security accessible while communicating the industry’s talent needs. Building community and mentorship is vital to enhance diversity in tech fields, a value she embodies through her teaching and mentorship at Stanford. Inspired by her engineer parents and entrepreneurial spirit, Gupta leverages her passion for startups to drive technological change and support emerging talent.
