Cybereason CEO and Co-founder Lior Div has been honored as the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 New England Award winner. The Ernst & Young (EY) Entrepreneur of the Year Awards celebrate entrepreneurs from the Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont regions, and is one of the preeminent competitive business awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who think big to succeed.
“I am humbled to be named one of EY’s New England ‘Entrepreneur Of The Year’ finalists,” said Div. “Cybereason takes an approach that enables defenders to end malicious operations instantly by delivering the most comprehensive prevention, detection and response solution on the market. This is how we are returning the high ground to the defenders – and we are just getting started.”
As a New England award winner, Div will be considered by the National independent panel of judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2022 National Awards. National finalists and winners, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2023.
Div and his two co-founders, Yossi Naar and Yonatan Striem-Amit, saw that the security industry was at a crossroads. The rise of a new class of highly skilled adversaries who employ sophisticated attack techniques and tools to commit financial cybercrime, espionage, and hold companies to ransom was further exacerbated during the pandemic as organizations become more reliant on public cloud and SaaS applications in the new work-from- anywhere era.
Div’s passion to empower Defenders was further ignited when he recognized the opportunity to leverage his skills as a former Commander in Israel’s Unit 8200 leading nation-state offensive cyber operations to build a company that enables organizations to reverse the adversary advantage.
