Prowler, the leading Open Cloud Security platform, announced the appointment of Rajiv Taori as its first Chief Operating Officer. Taori brings more than 20 years of experience in building and scaling successful technology businesses, with deep expertise in cybersecurity, cloud services, and enterprise software.

"Prowler is opening the black box of cloud security by combining the transparency of open source with the power of a community-driven platform," said Jon Sakoda, Founding Partner at Decibel VC. "Rajiv's experience building cloud-scale security solutions at AWS and SentinelOne makes him uniquely positioned to accelerate Prowler's growth. His deep understanding of cloud security will be instrumental in building on Prowler's strong foundation and market leadership."

Prior to joining Prowler, Taori served as General Manager of SentinelOne Data Lake, where he led go-to-market strategy and execution for enterprise and government cybersecurity solutions. Before SentinelOne, he held key product leadership positions at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he launched and scaled several critical services based on open source, including OpenSearch and OpenTelemetry.

"Rajiv's exceptional track record in building and scaling cloud and security businesses makes him the ideal leader to help drive Prowler's next phase of growth," said Toni de la Fuente, Founder and CEO of Prowler. "His deep technical expertise, business acumen, and proven success in delivering value to enterprise customers will be invaluable as we continue to drive innovation in open cloud security."

"I am thrilled to join Prowler at this pivotal moment in the company's journey," said Taori. "Organizations today face unprecedented challenges in securing their cloud infrastructure while maintaining operational efficiency. Prowler's unique approach to customizable, community-driven, multi-cloud cloud security perfectly addresses these challenges, and I look forward to working with the team to scale our impact and innovation in the market."

Taori's appointment follows Prowler's recent launch of Prowler 5 at AWS re:Invent 2024, which marked a significant milestone in the company's evolution. The new release transforms Prowler into a unified multi-cloud security platform, offering comprehensive protection across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Kubernetes. With over 1,000 security controls and dozens of remediation options, Prowler 5.0 represents the company's commitment to providing enterprise-grade security solutions while maintaining the flexibility and transparency of open-source software.
