Sumit Bawa — Co-Founder
I have spent the first two decades of my career as a strategic cybersecurity expert and leader, on the front lines of enterprise level cyber defense (CCIE Emeritus #35342). Over the years, I've seen the threat landscape evolve rapidly. Yet one challenge has become increasingly clear: small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) face the same sophisticated cyber threats as large enterprises but they are often left vulnerable, constrained by limited budgets and little to no in-house security expertise. At DATAWALL, Our AI-powered vCISO model does just that, helping startups and SMBs move from Zero to One in security. Our goal is to make strategic cyber protection accessible, cost-efficient, and scalable.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a cybersecurity expert focused on strategic solutions for SMBs.
