Gary Golomb has spent 25 years building network and endpoint companies in threat detection, forensics, and ML/AI - and has spent the past two years in a dark, dank basement doing R&D on Quantum Computing (QC) threat research and forensic analysis. “Quantum threats” is generally synonymous with “cryptography.” Instead, he has focused on adversarial actions against QPUs and QC tech stacks. Before pivoting to quantum, he cofounded Awake Security, which developed one of the first NDR platforms and won some of the most respected industry awards and analyst recognition, plus several “Great Places to Work” in Silicon Valley awards. He was the first employee at Cylance, the company credited with developing the first AI-based EDR that performed at scale and made traditional AV obsolete. He joined NetWitness after it acquired his early EDR product company. His work in cybersecurity goes back to analyzing exploits and developing detections for the Dragon IDS in 2001. His current hobbies are running stupid distances, Krav Maga, and quantum computing.
