About

I'm an ambitious entrepreneur and innovator. I went into hacking when I was 6-years-old, compelled by the world of possibilities that came into our rural home with my first computer. At age 10, I began attending Israel's highest tech institution (Technion) and continued dabbling with hacking into a variety of organizations. At age 9, I started my own company – penetrating communication networks for risk management purposes using my deep knowledge of security breaches and unknown threats. From my parents' home, I (ethically) hacked into banks, insurance companies, ISPs, defense organizations and numerous businesses. All with the sole purpose of exposing vulnerabilities and helping their cybersecurity teams excel.

  • At Nyotron, I created Paranoid - an OS-Centric, Threat Agnostic Defense system.
  • After years of hacking, I have gained a different perspective on cybersecurity – what if we focus on "good" system calls instead of learning from past breaches?
