Danny Brickman
Danny Brickman is the co-founder and CEO of Oasis Security, a New York and Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity company building the first enterprise platform for non-human identity management and agentic access management. A former Israel Defense Forces cyber R&D leader with 11 years of service and an Israel Defense Prize to his name, Brickman started Oasis in 2022 with Amit Zimerman to tackle the fast-growing security gap around machine identities, which now outnumber human identities by roughly 20 to 1. The company has raised about $195 million, backed by Sequoia, Accel, Cyberstarts and Craft Ventures.
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.
Hasan Imam
Hasan Imam is the CEO of Obsidian Security, the SaaS security company protecting Fortune 1000 and Forbes Global 2000 enterprises across their cloud applications, AI agents, and integrations. He took the helm in 2021 when revenue was under $1 million and COVID had gutted the pipeline, then rebuilt the product and team and pushed Obsidian to win head-to-head customer evaluations more than 80% of the time. Before Obsidian, he grew Shape Security from under $3M to nearly $90M in revenue, ending in a $1 billion acquisition by F5. He has a master's in computer science from Stanford and a bachelor's from Wisconsin-Madison, which he finished in under three years.
Umaimah Khan
Umaimah Khan is the co-founder and CEO of Opal Security, a San Francisco identity security company building the controls that decide who - and increasingly what - can access an organization's systems. A homeschooled math kid who entered MIT at 16 and fell for cryptography, she did research embedded with government agencies including DARPA, then engineered infrastructure and security at two startups that became unicorns. She founded Opal in 2020 to treat authorization as the hard technical problem she believes it is, and has raised roughly $32M, including a $22M Series B in December 2023. Opal's customers include Cloudflare, Figma, Databricks, Scale AI, Grammarly and Perplexity.
Jake Seid
Jake Seid is Co-Founder and General Partner at Ballistic Ventures, a cybersecurity-only venture capital firm managing over $700M in assets. A MIT-trained engineer with the school's highest student honor, he helped commercialize broadband at Cisco, launched Lightspeed Venture Partners as a founding team member, ran the 800-person team at Auction.com through its $1.6B acquisition, then backed 12 unicorns solo at Stone Bridge Ventures before co-founding Ballistic to go all-in on securing the digital world.
John Pritchard
Dr. John Pritchard is the CEO of Radiant Logic, where he leads a platform that unifies identity data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments for Fortune 500 enterprises. With a PhD in open innovation in AI from the University of Denver and over 25 years spanning Lockheed Martin, IBM, Adobe, and Okta, Pritchard joined Radiant Logic in 2022 as Chief Product Officer and expanded the company from a virtual directory provider into an AI-powered Identity Security Posture Management platform - before being appointed CEO in January 2025. He is a Forbes Technology Council contributor, Identiverse keynote speaker, and a vocal advocate for treating identity data as a strategic organizational asset.
