Top SchoolOr Katz is a seasoned security research and product leader with 11+ years of experience building detection-driven security products and bringing research from prototype to production. Currently directing product strategy for Firewall for AI at Akamai, he has repeatedly bridged engineering, data science and threat research to deliver SWG, DNS firewall, deception and micro-segmentation solutions. His background spans hands-on algorithm and heuristic development (IP reputation, credential stuffing detection), malware lab analysis, and ML-driven deep packet inspection, paired with customer escalations and go-to-market execution. A recognized conference speaker and thought leader (Black Hat, RSA, OWASP, BSides), he leverages publishing and awareness activities to shape vendor brand and market positioning.
