Prior to joining WatchGuard as CEO in April of 2015, Prakash was CEO at SafeNet, one of the largest information security companies in the world.

SafeNet was sold to Gemalto (Euronext: GTO) for $890 million, a transaction that closed in January 2015.
Prakash holds a Masters degree in Information Networking from Carnegie Mellon University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University.
