They essentially had quietly embedded themselves inside a US-based software company's development pipeline. So from the overall investigation, the risk wasn't just critical, it was legal, reputational, even geopolitical, for instance. Our team guided the client through threat containment.

We also coordinated with the law enforcement agencies and ultimately helped manage the overall regulatory fallout as well. So whether it's again, recovering from a breach, supporting a transaction or navigating complex risks within the nation state activity, our team really built a step in when Clarity really mattered the most.

In the end, our job is to help clients take back control when the stakes are high and the margin for error is very small.

Absolutely, absolutely. So this year I'm most focused on really helping organizations move from reactive to more resilient slash proactive. We have really spent the past few years responding to some of the most complex cyber incidents globally. Now the question is, how do we take those hard-earned lessons and turn them into muscle memory for the future?

So at Charles Cerato Theater, we're building new playbooks proactively that really go beyond traditional incident response, focusing on proactive risk identification, simulation-based training, and tighter collaboration between legal, security, and the business.

I'm also working closely with clients in the M&A and private equity space to really embed cyber diligence earlier in the deal lifecycle and to then help firms mature their portfolio-wide risk oversight.

So on a personal level, I'm also excited about the intersection of cyber risks and innovation, especially the role cyber plays in shaping investment decisions, insurance models, and national security policy.

I'm also advising emerging startups, you know, really sitting on the ransomware advisory board and exploring new ways to bring context-rich risk signals into the overall decision-making before an incident ever occurs. So whether it's helping a company prepare for tomorrow or investing in the next generation of solutions, this year for me, it's all about being one step ahead.

Absolutely, absolutely. So maybe I'll cover the Johns Hopkins part. I think that was a big turning factor in overall. So my overall journey into cybersecurity started roughly 20 years ago during my undergraduate degree in computer science back in India.

I got deeply interested in how systems authenticate users, especially the mechanics behind Windows authentication in general, and really started playing around with intrusion detection systems before it was mainstream. That early curiosity about how things break and how we can build smarter defenses was the spark for me.
