The AI Twin Revolution: Transforming Cybersecurity Teams with Prasen Shelar
Prasen Shelar has spent most of his career around security teams. Across Demisto, Palo Alto Networks, Fylamynt, and now Axari, he has seen the same thing over and over: security teams are expected to move incredibly fast, but so much of the work still depends on people manually holding everything together. Figuring out what matters. Finding the right owner. Following up. Making decisions. Keeping things from getting dropped. That’s the part of security Prasen has become obsessed with. Before this, Prasen was the first PM at Demisto, worked on Cortex XSOAR and Prisma Cloud at Palo Alto Networks, and later helped build Fylamynt, which was acquired by NetApp.
