In this episode of Built in Ohio, we sit down with Tony Pietrocola, President of AgileBlue, a Cleveland-based cybersecurity company using AI to detect and respond to threats faster than ever before.

Tony’s journey is anything but ordinary. With no formal background in cybersecurity, he co-founded AgileBlue to solve a real market need—and scaled it into one of Ohio’s fastest-growing tech startups. Today, AgileBlue’s platform monitors organizations 24/7 using autonomous technology to protect against evolving cyber threats.

We talk about:

  • How Tony transitioned from serial entrepreneur to cybersecurity founder

  • Why AI is now essential to defending against modern threats

  • The unique challenges and advantages of building in Ohio

  • What it means to launch and grow a tech company during a global pandemic

Connect with Tony on LinkedIn.
