In the last 20 years I have researched and innovated in various cyber-security domains, including web application security, advanced persistent threats, DRM systems, automotive systems and more. While thinking as an attacker is my second nature, my first nature is problem solving and algorithm development - in the past in cryptography and watermarking, and today mostly around harnessing ML/AI technology to solve security-related problems, from modeling of normal access patterns for threat detection to understanding attacks and assisting security users. I am the inventor of 20 patents in these fields. I have shared my knowledge as a presenter in RSA, Blackhat, OWASP AppSec and other security conferences. I hold an M. Sc. in Applied Math and Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute.
