Ohad Zaidenberg — CEO
Recognized internationally with honors including Forbes 30 Under 30 (2024), WIRED25 (2020), and the SANS Making a Difference Award, I have dedicated my career to building and leading cyber threat intelligence functions and global communities. I began my career at ClearSky Cyber Security, first as a Senior and later as Lead Cyber Intelligence Researcher, investigating state-sponsored operations, ransomware groups, phishing campaigns, and financial cybercrime. This hands-on research experience laid the foundation for the next stage of my career. At AB InBev, the world’s largest brewer, I built and led the company’s first global intelligence function, shaping strategic, operational, and tactical capabilities across continents. During this time, I received multiple internal awards, including Head of Intelligence and Threat Intelligence Strategic Leader, recognizing both innovation and leadership at scale. Today, I serve as Director of Intelligence & Technology Research at an undisclosed security company, where I established and now lead a multi-team division dedicated to combining adversary research, malicious platform profiling, and advanced technology analysis. In parallel, I operate as an independent consultant, lecturer, and thought leader, advising organizations on establishing cyber intelligence functions and sharing insights at international conferences. Beyond corporate roles, I co-founded and lead global volunteer initiatives. As Founder & Executive Director of the CTI League, I mobilized thousands of experts during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect hospitals and critical infrastructure. Later, I co-founded ILC4, a collective dedicated to defending civilian and humanitarian sectors during conflict. I also contribute as a CFP Board member at BsidesTLV and as an advisory board member with MITRE Engenuity’s Center for Threat-Informed Defense. My work is supported by formal training in management and leadership at Tel Aviv University’s Coller School of Management, the Pay It Forward Leadership Program (HKF), and the GIAC Strategic Planning, Policy, and Leadership (SANS Institute) certification. I build intelligence functions, lead communities, and shape the global intelligence field.
