Rubrik Hires Abhilash Purushothaman GM and VP For Asia Region

Abhilash Purushothaman, a pioneer in the technology sector, has been named by Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data SecurityTM Company, as its General Manager and Vice President for Asia.

Purushothaman, who is based in Bengaluru, India, has held executive positions with Cisco, AppDynamics, and CA Technologies for the past ten years. He was previously Vice President APJ at CA Technologies and most recently Regional Vice President (South East Asia, India, Korea, and Greater China) at Cisco AppDynamics.

Purushothaman will oversee operations in India, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and the rest of ASEAN, according to Antoine Le Tard, Vice President, Rubrik APJ.

"We're combining India and ASEAN under the one leadership umbrella to strategically serve the markets with a cohesive, consistent approach," he said.

"Rubrik continues to establish itself as a data security leader, and I couldn't think of anyone better than Abi to lead our growth in Asia. He has been at the forefront of the digital revolution from New Delhi to Taiwan and understands the unique data security challenges organisations in the region face."

India, Singapore, and other Asian countries, according to Purushothaman, have experienced rapid digitisation over the past three years, but given the rate of change, data security has frequently been an afterthought.

The goal of Rubrik is to protect all of the world's data. We assist organisations in achieving business resilience against cyberattacks, nefarious insiders, and operational interruptions with Zero Trust Data Security. Data security for enterprise, cloud, and SaaS applications is provided by Rubrik Security Cloud, which is powered by machine learning. We assist organisations in maintaining data integrity, providing data availability that withstands challenging circumstances, continuously monitoring data risks and threats, and resuming operations with their data when infrastructure is attacked.
