Tal Berin is a cybersecurity-focused founder and CEO with 14 years of technical and product leadership experience spanning military intelligence, startups, and scale-ups. He combines hands-on engineering chops—demonstrated by substantive open-source contributions to Cloudinary’s SDKs across JavaScript, Node, Ruby and PHP—with product leadership roles at Cloudinary and Similarweb where he owned integrations, APIs, platform identity and security. Tal has repeatedly launched and scaled developer-facing products, including co-founding Avoori to automate mass WordPress deployment and now running a stealth cybersecurity venture. His background in Israeli military intelligence and formal training in systems and networking inform a pragmatic, security-first approach to product design. Comfortable bridging front-end, back-end and API work, he is as likely to ship a transformation in an image SDK as define platform security and integration strategy. Based in Tel Aviv, he brings entrepreneurial grit, cross-functional execution, and deep integration experience to complex infrastructure problems.
