From redefining application security to harnessing the power of AI for defense, these startups are revolutionizing the way organizations protect their digital assets. “Generative AI became visible on the public radar roughly 18 months ago, with the launch of ChatGPT. A lot of the security frameworks that have been in use predate this, and so solutions that enable the use of Gen AI in the enterprise are paramount right now,” Leidersdorf said.
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA Conference 2024, Leidersdorf also discussed:
- The challenges of finding and recruiting AI specialists in the cybersecurity domain;
- How CISOs can navigate increasing attack surfaces amid modestly growing budgets;
- Predicting trends in the market for cybersecurity startups.
Leitersdorf founded YL Ventures to help seed-stage Israeli entrepreneurs transform their ideas into game-changing companies. Under his leadership, YL Ventures has raised over $800M across five funds and expanded into a growing multidisciplinary team of experts supporting the most promising startups. Over the past decade, YL Ventures has developed a track record of successful, high-profile portfolio company acquisitions by major corporations that include Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, CA – now Broadcom – and Proofpoint.
