Building the security layer for agentic software — before attackers do.
I lead AI Security Posture Management at Microsoft Defender, helping enterprises discover their AI agent footprint, detect misconfigurations, and assess and reduce risk efficiently, everywhere the agent runs. I write about what breaks as software becomes agentic in Context Window.

01About
Seven years in IDF Cyber Defense. Two companies founded — one acquired (NASDAQ: MGIC), one grew to 50+ people and became Microsoft’s #1 Azure partner in Israel. 8+ years at Microsoft building Defender. Two patents. Promoted to Principal PM to lead AI Security Posture Management in Microsoft Defender.
Now I build AI Security Posture Management from the ground up — agent discovery, risk scoring, attack path analysis, compliance mapping to EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. I write Context Window and speak at global security conferences.
Posture used to be a photograph — a point-in-time scan that tells you how things stood. But agent risk is created at runtime. The question is no longer “is this configured correctly?” — it’s “given who’s asking, and with what authority, should this happen right now?”

June 22, 2026 · Edition #20
For as long as we've defended systems, one quiet constant held the whole game together: an attack moved at the speed of a person. A human had to read the foothold, decide the next step, type the command, and wait.

“Your security posture isn’t what you built. It’s the weakest thing in your stack that has access to what you built.”
