Roy, could you start by sharing your journey from your role in Israeli cyber defense to co-founding Rezonate and your vision for the company?

Yes, thank you for the opportunity to share. I headed Israeli Cyber Defense Operations, where I was responsible for defending Israel’s critical infrastructure and public companies against cyber attacks, cyber terror, and digital espionage. My mission during over 20 years of service was to develop cutting-edge technology and lead cyber defense operations. I was also part of the founding team of NISA, Israel’s equivalent of the NSA, and established alliances with numerous countries and business partners.

I moved to Boston eight years ago to pursue my MBA at MIT Sloan. Following that, I served as the VP of Product Incubation at Cybereason. I founded three market-changing lines of business, including Cybereason’s flagship XDR product and its strategic partnership with Google Cloud. My journey has always been about pushing boundaries and innovating in cybersecurity around new challenges. When we realized that identity was the new perimeter in security operations, we saw that organizations still struggle to protect it. We had many ideas for revolutionizing identity security technology, so we started Rezonate.

What do you see as the most pressing issues currently facing identity access management, and how are these challenges impacting enterprises?

The shift to the cloud has been monumental, even accelerating during economic downturns for cost-saving and efficiency. Traditional endpoint and network-centric security needed to evolve to include cloud-forward environments. Users and machines have become the new focal points for both defenders and attackers. With 85% of attacks stemming from compromised identities, legacy systems cannot sufficiently protect them. That’s why my partner, Ori Amiga, and I saw a unique opportunity to challenge these outdated approaches on both the cybersecurity and identity and access (IAM) sides with an innovative identity-centric security solution, leading to the founding of Rezonate.

Can you explain the role of identity security posture management (ISPM) and its importance in today’s security landscape?

Identity security posture management is critical for reducing your identity attack surface. Understanding what your security controls are, monitoring identities to ensure they have the least privileged access, and being able to remediate access automatically when a risk or threat is detected. ISPM helps you identify and prioritize high-risk identities: Spots accounts with excess privileges, dormant accounts, misconfigured access, and elevated risk profiles. Posture management also streamlines the remediation process. Implementing ISPM supports regulatory compliance, enhances audit performance, and ensures effective policy enforcement. It also helps organizations to continuously monitor security issues and enforce best practices and policies.
