What happens when you replace a legacy security giant with a startup challenger - and it actually works better? 🚙💡 I recently joined Kunal Agarwal - founder of dope.security - for a rolling podcast episode through Nashville (yes, in a brand-new electric Hummer). We replaced a legacy security solution (think blue) with Dope, and the difference has been clear. They’re taking a fresh approach to disrupting a market many of us have wrestled with for years. In our conversation, we dug into some of the realities CISOs and technology leaders face today, including: - Running a security program inside a private equity environment - Why speed and agility often require operating in the “grey area” - Why security cannot always be black and white Dope has been a fantastic partner for us and Kunal brings a perspective on security, marketing, and building that I think many of you will appreciate. 👉 Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/e67avd2h #PrivateEquity #CISO #TechLeadership

Nobody budgets for the day the security stack gets slow instead of down. Down is loud, and it gets fixed. Everyone knows, there's a status page, there's a war room. Slow is quiet, and nobody owns it. Pages crawl, calls stutter, and people start turning off the VPN or the agent to get work done. That's where the real exposure starts. Nobody files a ticket that says "security made me slower." They just route around it. In a shared cloud-proxy design, the headroom is set by someone else's capacity plan, and AI-heavy traffic is growing faster than most plans assumed. At dope.security, enforcement runs on the device and traffic flies direct. Growth in AI usage lands on endpoints you already own, not on a shared queue you can't see.

Introducing our AI-powered SSPM, the newest CASB Neural upgrade. AI analyzes every third-party app connected to your Microsoft 365 or Google tenant across four signals: - OAuth scopes: translated into plain English - Real usage telemetry: Is this app actually doing anything? - Vendor research: Who built it, is the publisher verified, do they have a SOC 2? - Tenant context: Does it have an owner? Who installed it? Experience sharper risk scoring, fewer blind spots, zero unused privileges sitting around, and, as always, no stopovers. Available today.

When you need to restrict AI usage to enterprise-provisioned accounts in approved tools like Claude, ChatGPT, CoPilot, or Gemini, dope.security makes it possible in minutes.

A security architect at a manufacturing company told us his CISO asked a pretty basic question: which AI tools are we using? He didn't know. Nobody did. So they turned on AI Usage Analytics and had a real answer by the end of the afternoon. Three of those tools had never been approved by anyone.
