Arora on why cybersecurity is not a straightforward AI play
Arora explained that while AI is great for solving straightforward problems, cybersecurity is only getting trickier as more AI tools and cloud tech come into play.
Since 2018, he's led Palo Alto through a big transformation—launching over 120 products and acquiring CyberArk—which has helped the company hit a $120 billion market cap.
