We’re proud to announce that Amir Gabrieli has been appointed as Mitiga’s Vice President of Product. With a distinguished career spanning over two decades in cloud and cybersecurity, Amir is an industry veteran. Adding his deep cybersecurity and cloud expertise to our own is sure to result in great things, so that together we can further advance product innovation for our customers and drive continued momentum in our business. He will lead Mitiga's product development roadmap and implementation.

"We are delighted to welcome Amir to our team at Mitiga. His remarkable career, marked by over 20+ years of achievements in cybersecurity product management, aligns with our current strategic goals and future vision,” stated Ofer Maor, Co-Founder and CTO of Mitiga. “Amir's extensive experience, particularly his roles in developing complex cloud security solutions in organizations from technology leaders to fast growth start-ups, will help shape product innovation and our ongoing strategy. We are confident that Amir's leadership and industry knowledge will be instrumental in meeting customer demands in today’s ever-evolving cyber landscape.”

This hire reinforces Mitiga’s commitment to supercharge SecOps for the cloud era, building upon its leading-edge platform and approach. At Mitiga, Amir Gabrieli will play a crucial role in directing the company’s product development and strategy, helping address the current and future needs of its customers. He will also oversee the expansion and enhancement of Mitiga's platform, ensuring the company continues to offer the most comprehensive solution for threat detection, investigation, and response.

"While organizations have significantly transformed in recent years, SecOps and Incident Response (IR) tooling has remained largely unchanged. As cyber threats now primarily target cloud environments, it's essential for SOC teams to update their cloud security stacks to address the need,” stated Gabrieli. “This realization drew me to Mitiga, whose tailored approach addresses the unique challenges SOC and IR teams face in the cloud era. Mitiga stands out because it equips teams with the tools to manage the escalating cloud threat landscape efficiently, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional methods that are not designed for the scale and nature of cloud environments. I'm excited to help drive the evolution of cloud security, providing clear, effective solutions for detecting, investigating, and responding to these growing threats."

Previously Amir Gabrieli was a Director for Product Management at Aqua Security, where he spearheaded the strategy and development of Aqua’s leading runtime protection solutions for cloud workloads, a core component of Aqua's cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) offering. Prior, he served as a Security Black Belt at Microsoft, following the Secure Island acquisition, where he consulted global 2000 companies on strategic cyber-security initiatives.

In the past, many companies relied on backups to get back to business quickly if they were attacked. Reliable, secure backups separated from the primary environment made it much more difficult for an attacker to access and encrypt them. That long-standing process no longer deters double-extortionware actors — instead, today’s attackers not only encrypt the data but also exfiltrate it.
