Cloud Visionary, CSPM Pioneer Chen Burshan Joins Skyhawk Security as CEO
January 24 2023 - 9:00AM
Skyhawk Security, a leader in cloud threat detection recently spun
off from Radware® (NASDAQ:RDWR), formally announces the appointment
of Chen Burshan as CEO. Burshan is a serial cybersecurity
entrepreneur with nearly a decade of cloud and security expertise.
Skyhawk is leveraging this addition to its leadership team to
continue to drive cloud security innovation and deliver complete
visibility into the cloud infrastructure through the advancement of
its Synthesis Platform.
Before taking the helm at Skyhawk Security, Burshan played an
integral role in the creation of the Cloud Security Posture
Management (CSPM) category during his time at Dome9, leading to its
eventual acquisition by Check Point. There he showcased his passion
for developing successful security solutions that address the
intricacies of the expansive cloud attack surface. Previously,
Burshan served as the founder of several cloud startups and began
his career in technology as a software engineer at IBM and Cisco
respectively. He leveraged his engineering background to develop 24
patents.
At present, Burshan is spearheading the launch of Skyhawk
Security’s Synthesis Platform, a comprehensive solution that
includes Cloud Threat Detection and Response (CDR), Cloud Security
Posture Management (CSPM) and Identity Threat Detection and
Response (ITDR).
“We recognized the growing opportunities in the public cloud
security market and the potential for Skyhawk Security; for that
reason, we decided to create this new company and bring Chen on as
its leader, to provide the focus, attention and funding necessary
to achieve its breakthrough potential,” said Roy Zisapel, Radware’s
president and CEO.
"I hear two major cloud infrastructure security issues from
CISOs and security teams, and we solve them both in a unique way,”
Chen Burshan, CEO of Skyhawk Security, said. “The first challenge
is false positives. By using personalized context, derived from the
advanced ML modeling used in our platform, Skyhawk Synthesis
dramatically reduces false positives, eliminating alert fatigue.
The second is misconfigurations, especially those that cannot or
will not be fixed. Security teams need a security platform that
monitors these misconfigurations at runtime, so the team can stop
the threat actor in their tracks.”
“There’s nothing like this in the marketplace,” Burshan
continued. “It combines full awareness of inventory and least
resistance path analysis as events occur, and uses advanced AI
sequencing of context-based behaviors to connect suspicious
activities into an attack sequence. Currently, competitors are
focused solely on cloud misconfiguration and at-rest scanning tools
for posture management. We have a dynamic runtime protection
approach and that’s what sets us apart.”

About Skyhawk Security Skyhawk Security is
the originator of Cloud Threat Detection and Response (CDR),
helping hundreds of users map and remediate sophisticated threats
to cloud infrastructure in minutes. Led by a team of cyber security
and cloud professionals who built the original CSPM category,
Skyhawk Security evolves cloud security posture management far
beyond scanning and static configuration analysis. Instead, using
advanced ML sequencing of context-based behaviors, Skyhawk provides
CDR within a ‘Runtime Hub’. Sequences are constantly evaluated and
flagged as actual alerts, or realerts, once the risk threshold has
been reached, eliminating alert fatigue. Incorporating user
permissions and compromised identities and providing the
observability security teams need to fully understand the cause of
an incident, security analysts can quickly detect and remediate
malicious activities across multiple cloud platforms as they
happen. Skyhawk Security is a spin-off of Radware®
(NASDAQ:RDWR).
