Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Cran is a cybersecurity-focused entrepreneur and product leader with 16+ years of hands-on experience building and scaling security products and teams, and over 20 years of domain expertise. He’s founded and exited companies (Intrigue acquired by Mandiant) and has led product and engineering at high-growth orgs including Bugcrowd, Kenna, Mandiant/Google, and several startups, translating deep attack-surface and threat intelligence knowledge into market-ready platforms. Jonathan combines technical curiosity—early work in penetration testing, open-source tooling, and data-driven prioritization—with investor instincts as a partner at Resilient Thesis backing the next generation of security founders. Based in Austin, he’s now exploring the intersection of GenAI and cybersecurity at Mallory, focusing on practical solutions for SecOps, VM, and CTI teams. Not obvious from titles alone: he’s repeatedly retained and scaled core teams through acquisitions and built integrations and reference architectures that bridged research, product, and customer ops.
