About

I’m the founder and CEO of Ceeyu and I’ve been solving cybersecurity challenges for medium to large enterprises for about 20 years. Give me a ping if you're looking at managing your external attack surface and third party risks! I came up with the idea of Ceeyu during my career as an independent cybersecurity consultant and developed the company's vision and solutions in response to the evolving challenges and needs of organizations. A few years ago, I saw a two-fold gap in how organizations protect themselves against cyber risks and improve their security posture, both related to risks beyond the traditional – internal – security perimeter.  Most companies were (and still are!) increasingly managing their internal cybersecurity with firewalls, antivirus systems, internal controls, identity access management (IAM), and other solutions. However, while they did well regarding internal security, external cyber risks were steadily increasing as organizations continued to transform and embrace digital business methods such as extended ecosystem approaches, cloud computing, and other technological foundations of a connected digital economy. Against that backdrop, I noticed that there was still room for improvement in two cybersecurity areas: the digital footprint or attack surface on the one hand and the digital ecosystem of vendors and connected third parties on the other. These findings and the challenges businesses encountered in this changing environment resulted in the vision of Ceeyu and its solutions that help companies address these growing and complex external/connected challenges most efficiently.
