About Robert Leong

I’ve been a zealot for technology since I was a kid, and with Masters & Bachelors in EE/CS from MIT, I’m a card-carrying nerd! I moved to the business / marketing side of technology because I wanted to speak with customers directly and hear their needs. I have worked extensively on the business side of the house, thus giving me MBA-level experience through the school of hard-knocks. I’ve helped a string of companies get to funding, acquisition or big increases in sales. I’m ready to help any company who needs a combination MIT nerd and marketing/business strategy and product management person to jump-start marketing, sales, and create technology products that do really well in the market.(SEO)ENGINEERING EXPERTISE• Enterprise Cyber Security• Scrum Product Owner, Certified Scrum Master• Healthcare IT• Wearable Technology• Desktop PC Hardware and Software, Semiconductors• Medical Devices• Business Management Software (CRM, ERP, etc.)• Mobile Apps (iOS, iPad)FUNCTIONAL EXPERTISE• Product Management• Executive Management• Project Management• Product Marketing• Go-to-market strategy• Research and Development• Marketing, Clinical MarketingCOMPANIES & INDUSTRIES- Cyber Security: Robert has worked with or for companies like McAfee, Intel Security, Symantec, Trend Micro, Cylance, CrowdStrike, Bit9 / Carbon Black, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Sophos- Healthcare IT: Robert has worked with or for companies like Portico, Providence Health, GE Healthcare, Athena Health, Allscripts, Medicalogic, eClinicalWorks- Mobile / SaaS: Robert has worked with or for companies like Apple, Dropbox, Box.net, Evernote, Good Technology, Flipboard, Accellion, Citrix, YouSendIt, Syncplicity- Medical Devices: Robert has worked with or for companies like Biotronik, Medtronic, GE Healthcare, Stryker, Guidant, St. Jude Medical, DaVinci Surgery, Boston Scientific, Siemens AG, Johnson & Johnson

   In years of market interviews, two questions often comes up:\"How can we be proactive in cybersecurity?\" and \"How can we increase the number of important cyber security things we can do without a lot more people and a lot of hassle?\" so when BigFix reached out to me, I knew that it would be an awesome opportunity to bring Product Management Force Multipliers to their team. I am pleased to be leading the terrific Global BigFix Product Management team and our Engineering Team partners to create \"proactive cybersecurity automation\" that bridges the gaps among SecOps, Threat Intelligence, IT Security Management and the C-Suite, especially in areas of Exploitable Vulnerability Exposure Management (e.g, EASM, CAASM, etc.). If you have unresolved problems in these areas, we\'re on the hunt to find them and fix them!I am HCL\'s go-to person for the \"Voice of the Cybersecurity Market\" and analyzing the unresolved problems in that Market. I love speaking to CISOs and CEOs about their biggest challenges and giving them pragmatic, actionable ways to measure and reduce their cyber risk. We bring multiple technologies to bear to bridge the gap, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and intelligent agent technologies. We are leveraging Machine Learning (ML), Generative AI (GenAI), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in our latest BigFix releases, and looking for ways to use AI to measurably and proactively decrease the exploitable vulnerability attack surface across an organization\'s computing estate while minimizing business disruption and maximizing CVE remediation speed. We produce cybersecurity technologies that accelerate business agility with collaborative, data-driven endpoint security management, all in a unified, consolidated portfolio of solutions.
