bitosec
Founder & CEO: Alon Shoam
What inspired me to start the company: With my extensive experience as a CISO, I envisioned a cyber defense solution that is agile, resource-efficient, reliable, and cost-effective—thus, Bitosec was born.
What makes us stand out: We are a disruptive force in the Linux security space, delivering unmatched 99.99% reliability. Simply put, we are Linux Geeks with a mission.
Our vision for 2025: To become the ultimate one-stop cyber defense solution for organizations worldwide.

Cognni
Founder: Guy Eisdorfer, Co-founder & Chief Evangelist
What inspired us to start the company: We saw a critical gap in how organizations understand and protect their unstructured data, so we built Cognni to provide automated, intelligence-driven insights that transform data security.
What makes us stand out: Cognni is the first AI platform that understands information like a human, autonomously classifying and labeling structured and unstructured data while identifying vulnerabilities other AI systems overlook. By redefining traditional approaches to Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Insider Risks, and other security solutions, Cognni enhances data security for organizations with no effort needed from the organization.
Our vision for 2025: By 2025, we aim to be the go-to AI-driven platform for organizations seeking a smarter, more proactive approach to data classification and protection, empowering security teams with deep, actionable intelligence.

C2A Security
Founder & President: Michael Dick
What inspired us to start the company: Jerusalem-based, building on the success of NDA/Cisco deal, vision of connected vehicles and their attack vectors.
What makes us stand out: The only context-driven product security platform for software-defined products.
Our vision for 2025: Empower our customers to automate their compliance efforts while releasing new, secure products to markets, faster than their competition.

Scytale
Founder & CEO: Meiran Galis
What inspired me to start the company? Before I started Scytale, I worked at EY in the technology risk department in a field related to information security auditing. Within 2 years I was managing, together with my teams in Israel and the US, hundreds of audits in high-tech companies — including Monday.com. During my time at EY, I was exposed to a lot of tedious, manual work, burnout, and frustrated people — CEOs, CTOs, Information Security Managers, R&D leaders, Product leaders from companies who were simply after their final SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report — nothing else. Meaning, they didn’t see real value in the process, but just wanted the report. I realized that there was something wrong here and that there must be a better way.
What makes us stand out: Scytale transforms compliance automation by blending AI-driven efficiency with expert insights, simplifying complex regulations for businesses of all sizes. We help organizations stay ahead of the curve, turning compliance into a powerful, strategic advantage.
Our vision for 2025: To reshape the future of compliance—making it effortless, intuitive, and deeply integrated into the fabric of every business. We’re on a mission to turn compliance from a burden into a strategic advantage. By empowering companies with the most intelligent, automated compliance solutions, we will help them stay ahead of evolving regulations, ensuring they remain secure, agile, and focused on what matters most: growth and innovation. In 2025, Scytale will be the trusted partner for organizations worldwide, transforming how the world thinks about compliance—no longer as a challenge, but as an opportunity."

KTrust
Founders: Nadav Toledo, Co-Founder & CEO; Nadav Aharon-Nov, Co-Founder & CTO; Snir Maizlik, Co-Founder & CBO
What inspired us to start the company: When we founded the company in 2023, we recognized that today’s security solutions generate overwhelming noise, with numerous false positives leading to unclear remediation priorities. This led us to envision a proactive Exposure Validation Platform. The goal: Significantly reduce operational complexity and eliminate false positives, empowering organizations to proactively verify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
What makes us stand out: KTrust is driving the shift from passive detection to proactive security with its Exposure Validation Platform. Recently, KTrust launched its first product, the Kubernetes Validation Platform, which revolutionizes Kubernetes security by validating exposures in minutes. This approach combines Continuous Automated Red Team (CART) techniques with advanced AI, eliminating false positives and reducing alert noise by 80% compared to existing market solutions, enabling security teams to focus on real, validated threats. With AI-driven analysis, precise mitigation recommendations, and seamless integration, KTrust provides a powerful and efficient security solution for cloud-native companies.
Our vision for 2025: To set the standard for Kubernetes security, leading with our Kubernetes Validation Platform to proactively verify exposures and empower Cloud-Native companies with AI-driven technology to stay ahead of evolving threats.
