Rakesh on the Cybersecurity Industry
Rakesh cites the tremendous growth of data across business systems as one of the biggest challenges in the cybersecurity industry. Enterprise organizations have wider surface areas than ever before, and the increasing complexity of their systems showcases the fact that every security chain is only as strong as its weakest link – only now, there are more links in every chain than ever before.
The widespread shortage of skilled cybersecurity talent is another problem area for Rakesh. Resolving the cybersecurity talent gap will make a significant difference in every enterprise’s ability to mitigate the risk of data security breaches.
Over the next 3-5 years, Rakesh looks forward to pursuing his career further by obtaining Imperva certifications and learning how to better implement Imperva cybersecurity technologies to meet the stringent demands of enterprise data security and compliance.

With enterprise cybersecurity increasingly relying on excellent technical preparation and clear communication skills, strong team players like Rakesh are an indispensable asset.
