Stellar Cyber today announced the appointment of Mayuresh Ektare as Senior Vice President of Product Management, bringing more than 20 years of experience building category-defining AI-native cybersecurity platforms to help address what many see as the industry's next critical failure point: the Security Operations Center (SOC).
Mayuresh Ektare joins from Qualys where he led shift to Exposure & Risk platform powered by Agentic AI.
Previously SVP at Brinqa helping define Risk Operations category.
Founding member of Zingbox (IoT security) acquired by Palo Alto Networks.
Stellar Cyber platform unifies SIEM, NDR, ITDR, UEBA, detection, investigation, triage, and response.
Trusted by one-third of world's top 250 MSSPs and over 15,000 organizations worldwide.
Analyst productivity improved by more than 80%, false positives reduced by over 90%.
Ektare points to alert overload and fragmented tooling as systemic issues. Security teams are drowning in alerts from EDR, NDR and dozens of other tools — all operating in silos. The industry keeps adding more detection, but more signals without context just create more noise. That model doesn't scale. The traditional SOC model — alerts, analysts, tickets, response — is collapsing. You cannot hire your way out of this problem. The only viable path forward is a human-augmented autonomous SOC, where AI handles correlation, triage, and early response in real time.
Stellar Cyber's platform unifies multiple capabilities with AI-native processes into a single operational layer — cutting through fragmentation and automating detection, investigation, triage, and response end to end. Most vendors are still selling tools. Stellar Cyber is building a platform. The company is not asking customers to rip and replace. It unifies what they already have and turns it into something operationally effective — moving the SOC forward with a better AI-native autonomous platform.
As Mayuresh Ektare, SVP of Product Management at Stellar Cyber, stated: "The SOC is fundamentally broken. We've spent years improving detection and visibility, but we've ignored the fact that humans can't keep up with machine-speed AI-driven attacks. That gap is where breaches happen. Security teams are drowning in alerts from EDR, NDR and dozens of other tools — all operating in silos. The industry keeps adding more detection, but more signals without context just create more noise. That model doesn't scale."
Ektare added: "The traditional SOC model — alerts, analysts, tickets, response — is collapsing. You can't hire your way out of this problem. The only viable path forward is a human-augmented autonomous SOC, where AI handles correlation, triage, and early response in real time. What stood out to me is that Stellar Cyber isn't asking customers to rip and replace. It unifies what they already have and turns it into something operationally effective. That's how you actually move the SOC forward — not with more tools, but with a better AI native autonomous platform."
Changming Liu, CEO of Stellar Cyber, said: "Most vendors are still selling tools. We're building a platform. Mayuresh understands that the problem isn't a lack of tools — it's a lack of operational coherence. His experience across many different security domains, including threat detection, exposure management, and risk operations, makes him exactly the kind of leader we need to drive the next phase of SecOps."
