Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBarak Sternberg is a cybersecurity entrepreneur and researcher with nine years of experience building and scaling advanced security R&D teams and products. He co-founded and leads a stealth startup at the intersection of AI and security after founding Wild Pointer, a boutique research-as-a-service firm that delivered productionized vulnerability research for Fortune 500s and startups. His background spans deep technical work—from low-level kernel and IoT research to cloud and agentic AI security—paired with hands-on leadership managing 10–20 engineers and multiple concurrent projects. A former senior researcher at Cisco and SentinelOne and an ex-Unit 8200 team leader (IDF Defense Award recipient), he blends academic algorithmic rigor (MS in CS, published work on dynamic network propagation) with practical exploit and productization experience. He’s known for translating cutting-edge research into deployable solutions and for taking ownership of long-term maintenance and scaling, not just proofs-of-concept. Based in Tel Aviv, he brings a rare mix of vulnerability hunting, algorithms expertise, and operator-first product instincts to AI-security challenges.
