About Swathi Joshi

I’m a cybersecurity executive who builds resilient security organizations that stay calm in crisis and deliver measurable results. My work blends engineering depth with executive focus, helping global enterprises protect what matters most while enabling the business to move faster.I’ve led teams through every layer of cybersecurity: incident response at Mandiant, where I worked on breaches that shaped the industry; detection engineering and response at Netflix, where I scaled a team and helped build open-source tools, enterprise security transformation at Oracle, where I oversaw security for the SaaS business unit and currently at TransUnion leading security engineering peering and operations for all business units and corporate. Along the way, I’ve delivered programs that reduced incident response times by over 90 percent, safeguarded $550 million in annual client revenue, established red and blue teams that identified zero-day threats before they made headlines, and managed compliance with an engineering lens.What defines my leadership isn’t the size of my teams or the logos on my resume; it’s the calm that I bring to chaos. Whether managing a global crisis, overhauling DevSecOps, or guiding my team through yet another wave of change, I focus on clarity, trust, and measurable outcomes. I believe in empowering engineers to think like defenders and in making security a business enabler, not a bottleneck.
