  • Pros and cons of each;
  • How to make the right choice for your enterprise.

Shah is on the Endpoint Security product marketing team at Cisco Security. He is a seasoned product marketing manager with a background in IT security and IT operations through roles at organizations such as SolarWinds and Symantec. He has an MBA from the Tepper School of Business (Carnegie Mellon) and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Georgia Tech.
