Rakesh Datta

I am a technology leader and advisor with nearly two decades of experience in network security and distributed systems, with leadership roles across major platforms including Zscaler, Microsoft, and Cisco. I specialize in Zero Trust architecture, secure connectivity, and building large-scale, resilient systems that operate in complex threat environments.

My work spans the full networking stack—from protocol design to modern frameworks such as ZTNA and SASE—driving practical, scalable security solutions that improve both risk posture and operational efficiency. I bring a systems-level perspective to security, advising on cloud transformation, AI-driven threat defense, and the transition to adaptive, intelligence-led security architectures.
