Roy discusses his background in Israel's Cyber Intelligence Unit and briefly working in law at the Israeli Supreme Court, and how these experiences influenced his entrepreneurial path. Despite his first venture being acquired after two years, it felt more like luck to him as it was a business built by focusing more on a solution than a customer problem. With his second business, Cybint, Roy's growth and exit was more intentional, and he decided to sell at a time when market conditions for acquisitions were particularly favorable. Throughout it all, Roy stresses the importance of approaching problems with humility and continuous learning.

Our discussion centered around ThriveDX's innovative approach to addressing the critical cybersecurity skills gap, its unique training model, and its groundbreaking Cybersecurity Apprenticeship program. The conversation started by exploring the current cybersecurity landscape and its growing importance in a tight economy.

We then delved into what sets ThriveDX's training model apart. Roy elucidated on their hands-on, practical approach to cybersecurity education, which equips candidates with the necessary skills and prepares them for the real-world challenges they will face in the field. This focus on practical training is a cornerstone of ThriveDX's success in producing highly competent cybersecurity professionals. Much of our discussion was dedicated to ThriveDX's new Cybersecurity Apprenticeship program. Roy explained how this program offers companies a risk-free way to bring in new cybersecurity talent and reskill their current employees. This initiative, aimed at closing the cyber skills gap and building diversity across the industry, partners with nonprofits to provide employers with the opportunity to train and hire cyber professionals from diverse communities. The program stands out for its zero training costs and reduced hiring fees, making it a win-win for employers and aspiring cybersecurity professionals. Roy and I also discussed the value of hiring individuals from non-tech backgrounds, such as veterans or analysts, for cybersecurity positions. He highlighted how ThriveDX identifies potential candidates, provides them with comprehensive hands-on training, and boasts a high employment rate in the field. We further discussed the significant cybersecurity skills gap and the challenges businesses face in filling these positions. Roy emphasized the importance of apprenticeship programs in addressing this shortage and the long-term benefits and loyalty apprentices bring to organizations. Roy also shed light on the Apprenti program, which provides government grants for training individuals in the United States and has partnerships in other countries. He spoke about ThriveDX's continuous learning approach through 'last mile training,' collaborating with tech companies to stay updated with industry advancements.
