Lior Div, Co-founder of Cybereason - Software as a Weapon: A Soldier Founds a Cybersecurity Company

Inside the episode

Released May 26, 2020

"When asking V.C.'s for money, you need to answer two questions: Why you? Why now?" - Lior Div


“Software is a weapon." And the thing about weapons is, they can be used to attack. Or they can be used to defend. And if you know how they can be used to attack, it only makes them all the easier to defend when the time comes.

We sat down with Lior Div, who traded his life in the Israeli army, for a life as a CEO & Co-Founder of a cybersecurity company. We talked all about:

• His time in the Israeli army and how his experiences there set him up for a career as a CEO
• What it was that prompted him to start his own company
• Why it’s not a matter of IF you get hacked, but a matter of WHEN
