Israel
Strive for Greatness ๐ฃ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Breaking LLMs and Agents for a living. And then finding simple but sophisticated ways to detect it, together with awesome detection, platform, and engineering teams.
Building strategy, raising capital, and forging partnerships. All to grow and strengthen the Israeli cybersecurity ecosystem. Actively recruiting the right people to join the team. Not easy, but worth it. Producing events and programs worth attending. Creating real opportunities for the people I served alongside.
Leading dozens of incident response investigations - ransomware, BEC, malware, data exfiltration. Turning forensic chaos into clear remediation. Researching emerging threats and translating findings into new detections, policies, and product features. Building the tools, dashboards, and playbooks that stood up a global MDR forensics group. Writing viral threat research blog posts for The Hacker News, Forbes, and more. Teaching clients, nonprofits, and global conference stages that cybersecurity doesn't have to be scary.
What I did? Managing education programs end-to-end. Mentoring instructors, planning events, and producing annual programs people actually remembered. Turning the agenda into experiences worth showing up for. And then making them bigger every year. What I didn't do? Sell Girl Scout cookies. Though the dedication level was pretty comparable.
Led the full rebuild of a Cyber Security Practitioner Course - syllabus, lessons, presentations, assessments. All of it. Launched a personal development program for instructors. Because good mentors deserve to keep growing too. Trained and mentored 150+ students who went on to become SOC analysts, incident responders, cyber analysts, red teamers, and more.
Teaching cybersecurity - networking, forensics, cryptography, monitoring, and more. Guiding students from curious to genuinely skilled. Investigated cyber attacks along the way. Also led domain management team for a 300-user network. Hands-on, not hands-off.
