Idan Habler, PhD — CEO
With a Ph.D. in Software and Information Systems Engineering from Ben-Gurion University, I specialize in transforming complex AI security theory into practical, actionable guidance. As a Co-Lead of the OWASP Securing Agentic Applications project, I am at the forefront of this effort, architecting industry-wide security standards like OWASP Agentic TOP 10, Agent Name Service (ANS) and the Agent-to-Agent Secure (A2AS) protocol to ensure safe and reliable agentic ecosystems. My background in the IDF's elite "Psagot" program provided a foundation for leadership and technical execution. Today, my work translates directly into value for the security community and the enterprise, with a patent and multiple publications in top-tier venues such as IEEE TAES, CARS, CVPR, and ACM CSUR. These contributions provide organizations with concrete frameworks and strategies to defend against emerging threats. I am passionate not just about building secure intelligent systems, but about providing the clear, actionable guidance necessary for their widespread and safe adoption.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a Cybersecurity and AI specialist focused on securing intelligent systems.
