Staying Ahead of Modern Attacks with AAA’s Gopal Padinjaruveetil

Cyber crime has become a ten trillion dollar business, and no one is being held accountable.

Attackers are faster. Dwell times are shrinking. CISOs are racing to keep up.

In this conversation, Gopal Padinjaruveetil, CISO at AAA, walks and talks with Brian Contos about what it means to defend in a time measured by velocity.

Gopal explains how he approaches resilience in the cloud, starting with understanding the environment, knowing the threats, and being ready to respond. He shares why observability across SaaS, identity, and multi-cloud is essential, and why fragmented tools slow security teams down when every second matters.

He also talks about the role of Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) and why Mitiga’s approach to connecting the dots, reducing cost, and accelerating response helps CISOs stay ready for what’s next.

With Mitiga, even if attackers get in, they get nothing.
