Security teams have been stuck playing defense. Pluto lets them say yes. This is the plumbing every enterprise will need to adopt AI with confidence. Shahar Bahat ☄️, Gil Maman ☄️, and Tal Ofer Regev ☄️: you are fast, you are kind, and you have the "figure it out" mindset. Every founder says they want to hire the best talent. You did it! Huge congratulations to Rona Segev TLV Partners, Robby (Amanda Robson), Saaya Pal Jump Capital, Karl Mattson and everyone who believed in this team early. To Pluto and beyond 🩷 💚

Last week, a dream we had for our CXO community came to life, the U&I Ventures Trust Summit. We brought together over 100 security, data, engineering, privacy & trust leaders for a “glamping” experience in the redwoods of Guerneville, California. Stepping away from the AI hype to unplug and connect as humans in a curated setting. A setting where you… trust the process. Trust that every person has been hand-picked with purpose, shares common values and interests, and leaves with a “core memory” (like freezing in a tent or jumping in the pool at 10pm!). A huge thank you to Aysha Khan for guiding our community on their “titles” and gifts. We will share lessons we learned, anonymously. That is our gift back to our community. Thank you to our incredible Leadership and Startup Partners for believing in that vision and helping bring it to life. Leadership Partners: #Bind (Etay Bogner, Ron Davidi, Elinor Yagur Gil), Okta (Austin Arensberg, Charlotte Wylie, & Ian Ahl), Kai (Galina Antova, Manoj Apte, Andy Singer, & Victoria Davies) Startup Partners: Pluto Security (Shahar Bahat ☄️, Shachar Eschel, & Noam Bar Shavit), ZeroDrift (Kumesh Aroomoogan), #Rio (Raviv Rachmiel & Yael Cohen (Selig) 🪶) #Gin (Yarin Lowenhardt), Act (Jonathan Langer, Offir Levy, Ceren Dulgar & Maya Folman Avneri), Ocean (Shay Shwartz 🌊, Oran Moyal 🌊, Anita Vohra 🌊), Treat Security (Gal Dudi & Or Harel, & Ron Berner), Doppel (Kevin Tian, Alyssa Smrekar, Nathan DeKrey) We’re building something special together, and this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for Day 2 pics + learnings! 🌲

📝💚thank you, Vismay!

On Wednesday (after our AGM), we’ll gather in #Guerneville for the U&I Ventures Trust Summit. We’re bringing together CISOs, CIOs, security leaders, and a small group of founders for the kinds of conversations that are hard to have between conference sessions: what’s changing as AI reshapes security, what’s working inside real organizations, and where we still have more questions than answers. We're especially looking forward to the time between sessions -- the walks, meals, and conversations that help people get to know one another beyond their titles. To everyone joining us: safe travels. We can’t wait to welcome you in the Redwoods. 🌲
