Nir Zuk

Founder and CEO @ Cylake

[Cylake @CylakeAI]

Every company begins as an idea. What makes someone actually join?

We asked Ryan Salsamendi when Cylake went from an interesting concept to "I'm in."

The answer was the people behind it and the opportunity to challenge conventional thinking in cybersecurity.

Hear why Ryan decided this was something worth building.

[Cylake @CylakeAI]

Many organizations can’t move security operations to the cloud.

Highly regulated environments require a different cybersecurity architecture.

Cylake CEO @nirzuk breaks down the thinking behind what we’re building in his interview with @pulse2news: https://t.co/DaOZKeFADM

https://t.co/ylxV5XMBLV I had a great conversation with @nirzuk in the first episode of Inside Cybersecurity with @CylakeAI. The cybersecurity industry has spent years adding more tools and more layers, but the bigger issue may be the architecture underneath them all.

[Nir Zuk @nirzuk]

For a long time, “data” in cybersecurity meant logs and events. As that definition expanded, most systems continued to operate on a limited view of data.

Cybersecurity is now a data problem.

@CylakeAI formed its Board of Directors. @chandna, @jimgoetz, @MarkatPANW, & I have worked together for over a decade; I’ve seen how they build and scale.

Also announcing a strategic investment by In-Q-Tel.

Cylake is being built for environments where sovereignty is required.

[Cylake @CylakeAI]

AI will reshape cybersecurity, but not in the way most expect. It will separate systems that operate on complete data from those that don’t.

This is a data access and sovereignty challenge, not an AI one.

Cylake is building a platform without those compromises.

[Cylake @CylakeAI]

[1/4] Sovereignty is the next firewall. In the AI era, the most important security boundary is now about who controls the infrastructure processing your data. 🧵

[1/5] Everyone is asking whether AI will replace cybersecurity products.

But the real question is whether our current security architecture can even support what AI requires.

To understand the effect of AI on cybersecurity, let’s roll back the clock for more than a decade.

[Nir Zuk @nirzuk]

Generative models can operate on far more data to review code and infrastructure, identify anomalies and vulnerabilities, and prioritize and automate remediation.

Does that mean cybersecurity products as we know them are in trouble?

I see it differently.

[Cylake @CylakeAI]

[1/5] The world’s largest and most regulated institutions demand state-of-the-art cybersecurity, but many cannot depend on products tied to the public cloud. We believe that shouldn’t exclude them from access to top-tier protection.
