We couldn’t have left Israel without visiting Karamba Security headquarters in Hod Hasharon! That’s where Cédric met with chairman & co-founder, David Barzilai, and discussed various gripping topics like the autonomous driving opportunities, car hacking as well as building an “A team”. Don’t miss this episode!

David Barzilai is an entrepreneurial executive, with a wealth of experience in contributing to established companies as a VP Marketing and Management Advisor. When talking about his career, he illustrates it as a mixture of startup entrepreneur and go-to-market executive. Also, what excites Barzilai the most about the startup world is the impact and the change that can be made. In our interview with this serial entrepreneur, the main focus was on the third company he co-founded, Karamba Security.

With the rise of self-drive vehicles and all the benefits that come along, there is also a rising risk of cyber attacks. Karamba Security is a cybersecurity company that provides preventive solutions for the automotive industry. Barzilai explains that data centre cybersecurity use the quite common methodology of false alerts, based on statistics and heuristics. Since statistics is not always right, the team behind Karamba Security was the first to come up with a solution that enables prevention with zero false alerts.
