Author: Shmulik Regev, CTO
Shmulik Regev started coding when the public internet was still in its infancy and has been leading cybersecurity teams for nearly two decades. He’d rather not talk about himself and keeps conversations focused on his three children, marathon running and his side gig as a radio DJ. But there’s a reason he’s our CTO, and it starts with his long track record as an innovator. Shmulik was a co-founder and head of security innovation at Trusteer, another successful venture led by Mickey and Rakesh, who sold to IBM in 2013. Afterwards, Shmulik became the CISO at Cato Networks, before reuniting with Mickey and Rakesh at Transmit. Over the course of his career, Shmulik has accumulated 10 patents in cybersecurity. We are fortunate to have his creative mind, leadership and genuine humility.
Recommendations for Mitigating Risk at Each Stage of the Machine Identity Lifecycle
Increasingly, machines are the dominant force of digital business. And with more machines and machine secrets there are, the bigger the attack surface. And the numbers of machines are only going to increase in the age of generative AI, cloud and automation. So the question is how can you reduce risk in every way possible? […]
The Machine Identity Lifecycle and the Risks at Each Stage
Machines form the foundation of our digital world — with every interaction relying on workloads, containers, applications and physical devices, including mobile and IoT. And much like humans, these machine’s need identities in order to authenticate and gain access privileges. In nearly all cases, however, machine identities are verified with a single factor, using ‘secret […]
The Machine Identity Crisis:<br> How It’s Spun out of Control and What Can Be Done
The exponential proliferation of machines has outpaced collective efforts to properly secure them — from workloads in containers, bare metal and virtual machines to applications and devices. As we’ve raced ahead with cloud computing, infrastructure as code (IaC), internet of things (IoT), automation and edge computing, we’ve created a world where machines outnumber humans 50-to-1. […]
