01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Dasera was a Mountain View-based data security company founded in 2019 by CEO Ani Chaudhuri and CTO Dr. Noah Johnson. Its platform protected data across its entire lifecycle - from creation to storage, usage and sharing - across AWS, Azure, Databricks, Snowflake and on-premises environments. Positioned in data security posture management (DSPM), it automated data discovery, classification, and no-code policy enforcement so security, data and compliance teams could operationalize data governance ('DataGovOps').
