CrowdStrike is a cloud-native cybersecurity company built around its Falcon platform, a single lightweight software agent that combines endpoint detection, cloud workload protection, identity security, threat intelligence and, increasingly, AI-driven detection and response. Founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch and Gregg Marston, the company delivers security as a subscription service, collecting telemetry from millions of endpoints to spot attacks in real time. It serves large enterprises, governments and mid-market firms, trades on the Nasdaq as CRWD, and is a component of the S&P 500.
Dropzone AI builds an autonomous AI SOC analyst that investigates 100% of security alerts around the clock, mimicking the reasoning of an expert human analyst across phishing, endpoint, network, cloud, identity, and insider-threat domains. Founded in 2022 by former ExtraHop AI lead Edward Wu, the Seattle company replaces playbook-driven busywork with end-to-end investigations and high-fidelity reports, letting overwhelmed security teams focus on real threats. It has raised $57.35M to date, including a $37M Series B in July 2025.
SentinelOne is an American cybersecurity company that builds the AI-powered Singularity Platform, autonomous software that detects, hunts, and responds to attacks across endpoints, cloud, identity, and data in real time. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, it pioneered machine-learning-driven endpoint protection that works without human intervention and now competes head-to-head with CrowdStrike and Microsoft in the enterprise security market. After the largest cybersecurity IPO in history in 2021, the company crossed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue in 2025.
Tomer Weingarten is the co-founder, chairman, president, and CEO of SentinelOne, the publicly traded cybersecurity company he started in 2013 to replace signature-based antivirus with autonomous, AI-driven endpoint protection. An engineer by trade, Israeli outsider by background, he scaled the company from a Tel Aviv kitchen-table idea to a NYSE-listed business crossing $1B in ARR, betting the platform on agentic AI through Purple AI and Wayfinder.

Yonatan Striem-Amit is the co-founder and CTO of 7AI, an agentic cybersecurity company that raised the largest Series A in cybersecurity history ($130M). A veteran of Israel's elite Unit 8200 intelligence corps, he co-built Cybereason from a Boston startup into a global EDR leader, then left to solve the defender speed problem with autonomous AI agents. He reverse-engineered video games at age 12, coded his way into military intelligence at 18, and has spent 25 years trying to flip the asymmetry between attackers and defenders.

Yossi Naar is the Chief Visionary Officer and co-founder of Cybereason, the endpoint detection and response (EDR) company he helped build from a 20-person Tel Aviv startup into a global cybersecurity powerhouse valued at $5 billion. A veteran of Israel's elite Unit 8200 intelligence unit, Naar invented the Malop (Malicious Operation) framework and designed Cybereason's in-memory graph engine - two core innovations that reshaped how defenders visualize and respond to multi-stage cyberattacks. With a career spanning defense-grade security platforms, AdTech big data systems, and cutting-edge cybersecurity, he brings a rare combination of low-level engineering depth and product-level vision to the frontlines of the cyber war.
