Sumo Logic Co-Founder Brings Three Decades of High-Growth Company Expertise to Frictionless Data Security Leader as Customer Demand Increases

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bedrock Security, the frictionless data security company, today announced the appointment of co-founder Bruno Kurtic to President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Co-founder Pranava Adduri has been appointed to the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and co-founder Ganesha Shanmuganathan as the Chief Architect. Together, the team will capitalize on Bedrock Security's unique position in the market, using their strategic expertise to build a thriving business that addresses today’s rapidly growing challenges in data security.

“Data should be at the center of enterprise security strategy and until now enterprises didn’t have the technology capable of doing so,” said Kurtic. “I helped build Sumo Logic to analyze exabytes of data per day for security and operational insights. Now, at Bedrock, I am excited to leverage that experience to build a platform that enables enterprises to know exactly where their data lives, what it contains, how sensitive it is and who and what has access to it. We want to do this in order to secure it better than ever before possible and keep pace with growth of cloud and GenAI adoption.”

As the co-founder of Sumo Logic, Kurtic not only crafted the company's product and strategy but also led it from inception to a successful IPO. He established strategic partnerships with industry giants like AWS, Akamai, Crowdstrike, and Google Cloud, positioning Sumo Logic as a market leader. His hands-on approach in go-to-market activities, along with holding multiple patents, helped secure over $346 million in funding from top-tier investors, including Greylock Partners and Sequoia Capital.

"We are very excited to welcome Bruno Kurtic as CEO of Bedrock Security," said Asheem Chandna, Partner at Greylock Partners. "Bruno played a central role in helping found, build and scale Sumo Logic from zero to $300m ARR. He is an exceptional product thinker and leader. Thrilled to see Bruno, Pranava and Ganesh continue to attract very strong talent at Bedrock, and make important strides towards delivering a highly differentiated best in class offering for the AI era."
