Rumna Mishra, VP of Product Management at Malwarebytes, shares insights on the evolving cybersecurity landscape, emphasizing the shift towards comprehensive platform solutions.
She discusses the importance of protecting not just endpoints but also cloud solutions, managed security, automation, and evolving business models in the cybersecurity space.
Balancing innovation with security, Rumna highlights the significance of tight collaboration with threat intel teams and prioritizing customer feedback in product strategy.
Customer feedback heavily influences product development, leading to features like anti-exploit solutions and the ability for users to make exceptions for application updates.
In the cybersecurity space, managing stakeholder expectations, compliance requirements, and security validation result in longer product lifecycles, requiring a strategic approach to roadmap alignment.
To stay ahead of evolving threats, market research, proactive customer partnerships, and in-product feedback mechanisms play essential roles in product development and security enhancement.
The future of cybersecurity products lies in platform-based applications, integrating multiple security solutions into comprehensive platforms to meet the evolving demands of customers.
Rumna emphasizes the need for product leaders to focus on up-skilling teams in AI, building end-to-end solutions, and strengthening collaboration between product and go-to-market teams for successful product adoption.
