Kavya Pearlman: A Cyber Guardian for Extended Reality

Leading by example, Kavya Pearlman has dynamically contributed to the cybersecurity space. Kavya is the Founder and CEO at XR Safety Initiative (XRSI), a not-for-profit organization that promotes privacy, security, and ethics in the immersive environments (virtual reality, mixed reality, and augmented reality). Moreover, Kavya has founded The CyberXR Coalition that now focuses on diversity and inclusion and the cross-section of Cybersecurity and XR, helped launch a trustworthy XR news platform, ReadyHackerOne, and established a Medical XR Advisory Council. We at Insights Success  a business solutions magazine caught up with Kavya to know more about her journey and how she is helping build safe immersive environments through XRSI. Below are the highlights of the interview: rnIf given a chance, what change would you like to bring in the Cyber Security industry? I would love to see the cybersecurity industry pivot from “protection” mode to “prevent” mode. Only by proactively building secure applications and anticipating bad actors can we stay ahead of emerging threats. Oftentimes, cybersecurity professionals are so busy fighting fires that building secure code receives little attention. This paradox needs to be solved, and this is even more important now that our critical infrastructures and our future depend on code. rnSource URL: https://www.insightssuccess.com/kavya-pearlman-a-cyber-guardian-for-extended-reality/
