I am a cybersecurity strategy and policy leader with over 15 years of experience shaping strategic frameworks, advising senior executives and government officials, and driving innovation at the intersection of cybersecurity, emerging technologies, and global security. My expertise spans research, strategy, and leadership, bridging academia, policy, and industry to tackle some of the most pressing cyber challenges of our time.

A recognized thought leader, I specialize in translating complex cybersecurity and risk concepts into actionable strategies for organizations navigating an increasingly volatile digital landscape. My work explores critical areas such as AI-driven cyber threats, cyber risk management, space system security, and the role of intelligence agencies in cyber operations.

I currently serve as a senior lecturer at Bar-Ilan University’s Department of Political Studies, a non-resident research scholar at the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and the Berkeley Risk and Security Lab at UC Berkeley, and a senior adjunct research fellow at the Centre of Excellence for National Security (CENS) at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Previously, I was a Fulbright Cybersecurity postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC).

Beyond academia, I actively advise governments, multinational corporations, and international organizations on cyber risk, strategy, and policy. I provide high-impact briefings and specialized presentations to executive teams, government agencies, and industry leaders, helping them anticipate and mitigate evolving cyber threats.

My background also includes leadership roles in cybersecurity research, including serving as Head of the Cyber & Space Research Group at Tel Aviv University’s Yuval Ne’eman Workshop for Science, Technology and Security, as well as holding cyber intelligence positions within Israel’s National Information Security Authority.

I hold a Ph.D. from Tel Aviv University’s Excellence Program in Political Science, Government, and International Relations, and an M.A. in Security Studies (magna cum laude) from Tel Aviv University.

With a passion for the strategic impact of emerging technologies, I am committed to bridging the gap between research, policy, and real-world cybersecurity challenges—helping organizations stay ahead of tomorrow’s threats.
