As a three-time company founder and luminary in the cybersecurity industry, Varun Badhwar represents the essence of disruptive entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. He’s helped solve some of the most complex technology issues faced by global enterprises: His most recent venture, Endor Labs, takes on a critical yet overlooked corner of the technology market—the software supply chain and open source security. Before founding Endor Labs, where he also served as CEO, he was the founding GM and SVP of Prisma Cloud at Palo Alto Networks where he built the cloud-native security business from scratch to over $300M ARR in just three years. He joined Palo Alto Networks through the acquisition of RedLock, where he created the Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) category and sold the company three years later for over $200M. Prior to that, he founded a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) company called CipherCloud; earlier, he led the platform security team at Salesforce and served as a consultant at KPMG, where he advised F500 clients on a variety of cyber-security initiatives. With a career spanning two decades, Varun Badhwar is a key player and influencer in technology and cybersecurity, including cloud computing and open source. He’s been a board advisor to dynamic entities like Tetrate and Safebreach, and always keeps his focus on the new, the important, and the neglected.
