What this move signals
Enterprise intelligence platform Starburst announced the appointment of Paras Malhotra as Chief Information Security Officer.
Data-platform companies sit in the blast radius of every customer's compliance program, which makes the CISO seat as much a sales-enablement role as a defensive one. Expect the role to carry heavy customer-facing trust obligations alongside internal security.
