Yotam Segev is the co-founder and CEO of unicorn Data Security company, Cyera – the AI native, fastest growing data security company in history. Yotam is a cybersecurity expert with 15 years of experience in the field. Prior to Cyera, he – alongside Co-Founder, Tamar Bar-Ilan – built and ran the cloud security division for the Israeli Defense Force’s (IDF) elite Unit 8200. He served as a Senior Class Commander in the IDF’s prestigious Talpiot Leadership Academy. To date, Cyera has raised $760 million from the top VCs in the world – Sequoia, Accel, Redpoint, Coatue, Georgian, Sapphire, AT&T, Spark and Cyberstarts.

Matthew Warner is the CEO and co-founder of Blumira, bringing nearly two decades of hands-on cybersecurity experience to the company. Before launching Blumira, Matthew served as the director of security services at NetWorks Group, a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) with a strong focus on compliance and ethical hacking. During his time there, he worked closely with MSPs, gaining firsthand insight into their challenges in delivering effective, scalable security solutions to small and midsize businesses (SMBs). Identifying a gap in the market, Matthew envisioned a threat detection and response platform built with the needs of both SMBs and their MSP partners in mind—simple to deploy, easy to manage, and cost-effective. This vision became the foundation of Blumira, a solution designed to empower MSPs to offer robust cybersecurity protection without the overhead of traditional SIEMs.

Deeply committed to cybersecurity education, Matthew actively shares practical guidance through webinars, articles, podcasts, and other channels to help resource-constrained MSPs and SMBs improve their security maturity. His passion for helping underserved organizations—often the most vulnerable to cyber threats—continues to drive Blumira’s mission. In 2022, Matthew’s innovative leadership was recognized when he received the CTO of the Year award from the Globee Cybersecurity Global Excellence Awards. He was honored for his impactful research on additional Log4j vulnerabilities and his contributions to Blumira’s State of Threat Detection and Response Report.

Rob Allen is a seasoned IT professional with over two decades of experience helping businesses embrace technology while navigating its evolving challenges. His career began with a strong technical foundation—working as a system administrator, technician, and engineer—which gave him a unique understanding of both the technical and operational needs of businesses.

Rob spent his early career with an Irish-based MSP, where he served as a trusted advisor to hundreds of small and medium enterprises across diverse industries. During this time, he gained invaluable insight into the challenges faced by many businesses, particularly in the realms of security and cyber resilience.

Joining ThreatLocker in 2021 as VP of Operations for EMEA, Rob’s deep technical expertise and commitment to customer success fueled the company’s expansion across the region. Rob currently serves as ThreatLocker Chief Product Officer, driving the development and delivery of innovative security solutions, empowering businesses to safely operate in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Now a recognized expert in cyber and ransomware remediation, Rob has been on the frontlines helping organizations recover from attacks and implement proactive defenses to secure their futures.
