About Lalan Prasad
With over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, I bring a deep understanding of enterprise security from both technical and strategic perspectives.Having worked at industry leaders like Cisco, Juniper, SentinelOne, and Zscaler, I\'ve led pre-sales engagements, built technical demos, and partnered with customers across the public sector, BFSI, and enterprise verticals to architect and deploy security solutions covering ZTNA, XDR, ITDR, and DLP.I\'ve also had the exciting experience of working with high-growth cybersecurity startups — ColorTokens, where I worked on Micro Segmentation solutions, and Attivo Networks (a SentinelOne company), where I specialized in Deception-based Security and Identity Security. These roles gave me hands-on experience in shaping innovative security narratives and driving adoption of next-gen technologies.I currently serve as Principal Sales Engineer at Cohesity, where I focus on helping enterprises leverage AI-driven data security to protect, recover, and govern their most critical assets — across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.I hold a Certified Scrum Master (CSM) credential and a Zscaler Digital Transformation Administrator certification.Open to: Industry conversations | Thought leadership | Cybersecurity networking
