Idan Tendler is the Senior Vice President of Application Security at Palo Alto Networks, as well as the chairman and co-founder of Place-IL, a nonprofit tech initiative. Idan discusses his previous cybersecurity analytics startup, Fortscale (later acquired by RSA Security), and some key lessons he learned from his experience building the company. Before Fortscale, Idan founded Bridgecrew, a company that helps developers better secure their cloud environment. With the goal of to making developers love security—a seemingly impossible task—Bridgecrew built an open-source product called Checkov, which allowed the company to get millions of developers to use their product. Today, Idan is also busy building Place-IL, a non-profit initiative that helps connect immigrants to Israel with job opportunities in the country's tech industry.
Idan is a serial entrepreneur, VP of the DevSecOps product line in the Prisma Cloud Business Unit at Palo Alto Networks. He was previously co-founder and CEO of Bridgecrew, a pioneer in cloud security solutions for developers, which was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in March 2021 for $200M, less than two years after it was founded. Idan was also the co-founder and CEO of Fortscale, a leading User Behaviour Analytics startup, which was acquired by RSA Security in 2018. Before that he was founder and head of the cybersecurity business unit at Elbit Systems, Israel's leading defense integrator, and served in the IDF's elite Intelligence & Cyber Unit, 8200.
