Revolutionising access control in the age of intelligent security
In today's volatile digital world, where breaches are measured in billions and trust is as valuable as data, few cybersecurity leaders are making waves like Vamsy Priya Anne. Indian-born and globally recognised, Vamsy is redefining how modern enterprises secure their most critical asset-access. With a deep command of Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platforms like Saviynt and SailPoint, she has architected Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategies for Fortune 500 firms. Her work has not only fortified digital boundaries but also elevated enterprise efficiency and regulatory compliance. 'Security isn't just a checkbox,' Vamsy says. 'It's a strategic foundation. When you manage access intelligently, you unlock both trust and transformation.' Her efforts have led to measurable business impact: a sharp decline in SLA breaches, a dramatic reduction in operational tickets, and streamlined access provisioning with rigorous security controls. These aren't just numbers; they're the outcome of strategic foresight grounded in technical precision. Described by senior leadership as a 'game-changing hire' and 'the best strategic decision' for their IAM programs, Vamsy consistently operates at the intersection of innovation and governance. She has led complex role mining efforts, enforced segregation of duties, and implemented least-privilege models that are both scalable and audit-ready. Yet, Vamsy's impact extends beyond traditional boundaries. Recognising the limitations of static Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), she has emerged as a vocal champion for AI-driven access governance. Her influential paper, Enhancing Role-Based Access Control through Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, lays out a pioneering vision for adaptive IAM systems. 'Tomorrow's access control will be intelligent and autonomous,' she explains. 'With AI, we can predict threats, detect anomalies in real time, and enforce policies dynamically, without slowing down the business.' Her leadership has already enabled enterprises to pilot machine learning models that analyse user behaviour, flag anomalies, and adjust access policies on the fly. These implementations have drastically reduced the threat surface and elevated organisational resilience. 'She doesn't just align with best practices, she redefines them,' remarks a global program director. 'Vamsy builds frameworks that others follow.' From C-suite strategy sessions to mentoring cross-functional teams, Vamsy remains a vital force in IAM centers of excellence and digital transformation programs. Her rare blend of technical depth, strategic insight, and business empathy makes her one of the defining cybersecurity leaders of this era. In a field where change is constant and risk is global, Vamsy Priya Anne stands out, not just for what she secures but for how she leads.

Cerby Raises $40M Series B to Automate Identity Security at Scale
Cerby to use new capital to further innovate its entire solution suite and scale operations in North America and EMEA region. Round was led by DTCP with participation from Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Two Sigma Ventures. SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cerby, the fastest-growing platform for identity security automation globally, has announced today a $40 million Series B funding round. The round was led by DTCP with participation from existing backers including Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Two Sigma Ventures. As SaaS, cloud, mobile, and on-premise applications continue to proliferate, the enterprise attack surface has expanded dramatically, making the need for autonomous, scalable, state-of-the-art identity security solutions bigger than ever. Cerby is the first to automate the full identity lifecycle for disconnected applications—from credentials and authentication to lifecycle management and privileged access. It works horizontally across Enterprise Password Management (EPM), Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems, helping customers extend protection to the applications and user identities that traditional tools can't reach. Cerby will invest the new capital to expand the Cerby Application Network in response to growing customer demand. This will include continued investment in the company's agentic AI capabilities and making the platform extensible. Cerby will also use the latest funding to further innovate its entire solution suite while scaling go-to-market operations in North America and EMEA. As part of this strategy, Cerby is prioritizing growth in key markets such as Germany, France, the UK., along with strategic Middle Eastern regions, where regulatory pressure and increasing enterprise complexity are accelerating demand for solutions that secure disconnected applications at scale. Belsasar Lepe, co-founder and CEO of Cerby, comments: "From day one, we've been laser-focused on eliminating the operational burden and security risk created by manual identity workflows—automatically, intelligently, and at scale. We're building a world where identity security is fully automated—eliminating human error and ensuring no app is left behind."
