Sagit Manor, Nyotron

Sagit Manor is the Chief Executive Officer at Nyotron, a cybersecurity company that doesn’t study past attacks or the behavior of hackers. This unorthodox approach is what attracted Manor to the company in the first place. Following a decade of working in business, Manor’s life changed with a meeting with former Israeli ethical hacker, Nir Gaist, who introduced her to PARANOID. It was a disruptive system that turned every other principle of cybersecurity upside down by positing that “stopping threats has [nothing] to do with knowing them.” Manor mirrors the company’s enthusiasm and trust in their unconventional yet revolutionary process. While her background is in finance and the payment industry, since joining the cybersecurity company in 2017, Manor has made her mark by partnering with Ingram Micro, which led to the tech giant investing $10 million in Nyotron. Before Nyotron, Manor held roles at Ernst & Young, as the chief financial officer at Lipman and as the vice president and chief financial officer at Verifone. Sagit also led an IPO at NASDAQ, as well as several strategic acquisitions.

For the last two-and-a-half years Pcysys has relied on Lazar to discover dynamic vulnerabilities, learn how they can be exploited in a live enterprise network as well as undertake the incredibly complex task of automating known intrusion techniques used by red teams and attack campaigns without damaging operational workflows. Lazar’s expertise originates from the four years she spent in the Israel Defense Forces. She was recruited to the top intelligence unit, 8200, where she began as an intelligence analyst before spearheading cyber operations vital to Israeli security as a network security researcher. It isn’t just Lazar’s affinity for being a team player that makes her an accomplished thought leader but her ability to go the extra mile.
