Glimpse behind LOUHE team – Presenting our advisor Petri Kuivala

We have a talented team at Louhos not only in our day-to-day operations but also within our investors and advisors. One of our advisors, who is also an investor, is Mr. Petri Kuivala.

Petri is a seasoned professional in both physical security and cyber security domains, having served companies such as Nokia and Microsoft in international roles.

In addition, Petri has served in several board positions for cybersecurity companies both as a member and the chair.

Currently Petri acts as VP of General IT in NXP Semiconductors in an extremely sensitive industry both in security and cybersecurity perspective.

We asked Petri a couple of questions about LOUHE and what got him intriguied. Here is what he had to say.

What was it Petri that made you want to be a part of Louhos Solutions as an investor and an advisor?

Louhos is the first company that brings scattered Premises security data together with LOUHE. This will enable CSO’s to better chime in with the business conversations. They will be able to protect their most valuable assets as they proactively know who is working in spaces where these are cultivated. They know if some people are violating the rules, they know how the people or asset flow happens.

Having been in that CSO spot yourself, what do you think are the most interesting practical level implications and benefits for implementing LOUHE technology?

LOUHE takes the CSO from the “This is my policy state” to a state where CSO can observe how the policy is adhered to. In short LOUHE delivers the first ever “SIEM for Physical security” and that is exciting for all Security enthusiasts.

Any other insights you want to share having familiarized yourself with LOUHE technology?

LOUHE also delivers the capability to understand e.g., vehicle flow, which in many industries is one key in optimizing the business processes together with the Business leaders. CSO’s strive to be closer to the business teams and to improve the bottom line of the company in co-operation with the business leaders. I would say LOUHE gives them a vehicle to increase their importance beyond their traditional role, which itself is critical for the companies. It enables CSO’s to renew themselves, their team brand and stakeholder value.
