Cybereason and Observe Launch New SDR Solution, Converging SIEM and XDR to Revolutionize Security with Observability.
Cybereason, the XDR company, today announced CEO and Co-founder Lior Div has been named a finalist for Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 New England Award.
Cybereason is one of the fastest growing technology companies in New England. 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 became 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.
“I am humbled to be named one of EY’s New England ‘Entrepreneur Of The Year’ finalists.
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,” said Div.
