Cylus logoCylus follows the now standard template for Israeli firms – founded by former Israeli Defense Force (IDF) cyber specialists before expanding into the U.S. market. Current CEO Amir Levintal was Director of the Cyber R&D Division of the IDF’s Elite Technological Unit from 2014 to 2017, while CTO Miki Shifman was cyber researcher and R&D leader in the same division. To assist the U.S. expansion, William Heinrich, former CISO of Amtrak and BNSF Railway, and Mark Grant, former CISO of CSX Transportation, will join the company’s advisory board.
