Itamar Apelblat
Itamar Apelblat is the co-founder and CEO of Token Security, a cybersecurity company focused on securing non-human identities (NHIs) - the service accounts, API tokens, workloads, and AI agents that now vastly outnumber human users inside enterprises. A veteran of Israel's Unit 8200 with more than 15 years in cybersecurity, he founded Token Security in 2023 with Ido Shlomo after encountering a forgotten contractor service account that still had full access to a company's systems. The company emerged from stealth in 2024 and raised a $20M Series A in January 2025, relocating its headquarters to New York as enterprises race to secure the machine-first, AI-agent era.
