Roopangi Kadakia

Vice President, Onyx Point, LLC

Roopangi Kadakia led a team of security engineers continually enhancing cloud security and compliance posture for all three cloud platforms (Azure, GCP and AWS) while leading a new initiative to incorporate AI security and API security testing into the DevSecOps processes.

Kadakia is also establishing a cybersecurity cloud risk management practice for a large government agency to reduce the cloud attack surface, reduce supply chain and third-party risk, increase compliance and ultimately reduce cost and increase operational efficiency.

Why Watch

In 2025, Kadakia’s team is heavily focused on AI and API security and how to not only secure the use of AI models but to also use them for more effective and efficient cloud security.

Fun fact: Kadakia is a big fan of science fiction, leaning more Star Trek than Star Wars and is always looking for recommendations for good sci-fi reads.
