If you truly care about AI safety, AI cybersecurity is where you should be. Cyber defenses were built against humans, not AI agents. Today, thousands of agents can attack enterprises without anyone even noticing. We need AI researchers in this space more than ever. I believe this is one of the biggest risks AI poses to humanity, and also a massive market opportunity. Without any hype bullshit.

Humanity is facing a major risk right now, and I think everyone needs to be aware of it. Ten days ago, we were just heading to another conference. I never imagined that almost everyone we spoke to about our perspective, would want to get involved through investment, partnerships, or collaboration. From industry leaders to major enterprises, That’s when we realized how urgent this really is. I’m genuinely worried about where we’ll be six months from now. Throughout history, new cybersecurity categories emerged after major technology adaptations. Companies moved to the internet → Network Security → Check Point. Companies moved to the cloud → Cloud Security → Wiz. Companies adopted AI → AI Security → Zenity. But this time, something is different, there is NO ADAPTATION! It’s not just the technology we’re protecting that’s changing. The attacker itself is changing. Almost every security product today was designed for human cyber attackers. But what happens when thousands of AI agents can attack the same organization 24/7, learning, adapting, and trying again, with exponential reverse engineering capabilities? The scary part? Today, 5000 AI agents can attack an organization without it even knowing, because existing security defenses simply weren’t built to stop AI attackers. And solving this isn’t just another cybersecurity challenge. It requires a rare combination of deep AI research and cybersecurity expertise. Look at the graph. Open-source cyber AI models have made incredible progress in just the past few months. At the same time, some sectors have reportedly seen enterprise attacks increase by 4–5x ( not according the graph but according our partnership) We’re entering the era of vibe hacking. Just like AI made software development accessible to almost anyone, it’s making offensive cyber capabilities accessible to people who previously needed years of technical expertise. And I don’t think most people realize how fast this is happening. This is the biggest AI safety challenges humanity faces in our time. Not years from now. NOW. About 10 days ago, we left Israel without really knowing what to expect, just to visit another conference. We came to meet people, attend conferences, explore, and validate something we’d been thinking about before. What happened next surprised me. In those 10 days, between conferences, traveling, and endless conversations, I feel like we learned what would normally take us 2–3 years. The feedback, the validation, the people who want to get involved. Everything moved much faster than we expected. And that’s why I’m writing this. I never imagined I’d publicly talk about the problem we’re building a company to solve before we’d even properly started. Definitely not this early. But after everything we’ve seen and heard, waiting another six months just doesn’t make sense. This is bigger than another cybersecurity startup. It’s a problem with implications for all of us. So we’ve decided to start talking openly, even though we’re still at the very beginning. I wasn’t planning to share any of this for at least another six months. But who knows what the world will look like by then? Fuck it. We’re doing this.

החלטתי לפרוש מהדוקטורט בטכניון בשנה האחרונה, אחרי חמש וחצי שנים, 15 מאמרים והקמת אחת ממעבדות המחקר המובילות בישראל לבטיחות ואבטחת AI לצד פרופסור אבי מנדלסון. הבנתי שיש מקום אחר שבו אני יכול לתרום בצורה משמעותית ודחופה יותר לצמצום הסיכונים שהבינה המלאכותית מציבה לאנושות, וכרגע הזמן חשוב יותר מהדיפלומה.

עמית, אין אפשרות להאיץ את הדוקטורט ולהגן בקרוב? מה שכתבת ללא ספק נשמע מספיק. בדקת אם יש גמישות מצידם?
