In today’s episode of CyberBytes, we sit down with Murali Basavaiah, co-founder and CEO of Andromeda, to unpack the growing identity security crisis reshaping enterprises today.

From his successful exit to launching Andromeda, Murali shares what he’s learned about scaling startups, navigating go-to-market challenges, and staying ahead of rapidly evolving threats.

We dive into how agentic AI is transforming both cyberattacks and defense, why identity compromises drive 80% of breaches, and what enterprises must do now to avoid catastrophic risk. Murali also explains the shift from dashboards to conversational AI interfaces, and why explainability, not just innovation, is the key to trust in security.

If you’re curious about the future of cybersecurity, AI’s role in shaping it, and the hard-earned lessons of a second-time founder, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
