HIGHLIGHTS: Nikesh Arora - CEO of Palo Alto Networks

Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everyone, I'm Nikola Tanyan, the CEO of the Norwegian Sobern Wealth Fund, and today I'm in really good company with Nikesh Aurora, the CEO of Palo Alto Networks. Palo Alto Networks is the world leader within cybersecurity, which has never been more important than today. We own 1.2% of the company, translating into more than $1 billion.

Thank you so much, the Cash, for taking the time. Thank you, Nikolai. Lovely to see you again. Now, let's uh start off with the basics. What do you guys do?

That's a good question. Look, as the world has digitized, as we've all adopted technology, whether it's on our smartphones or as companies make applications available to everyone, the possibilities of bad actors getting into company systems or personal systems goes up. And our job is to protect. that technology infrastructure from bad actors. So we are in the business of cybersecurity, which is to protect our enterprise customers, governments, and individuals from being hacked or attacked or coerced by bad actors.
