Shay Sandler co-founded Vega Security in 2024 to replace the SIEM, the model security operations has run on since 2005. Vega was named to the Disruptors 60 Class of 2025 and closed a $120 million Series B in February, five months after its seed.
Greenfield partner Itay Inbar sat down with him to talk through what Shay calls the asymmetrical moment in cyber defense: attackers can now get frontier-model capability off open weights for almost nothing, while the systems defending against them were designed before the cloud existed. They cover the OpenAI agents that escaped a test sandbox and breached Hugging Face, how you write detections for attacks nobody has seen before, and whether the security services layer survives agentic defense.
AI 60 in 60 with Shay Sandler
Fourteen questions, sixty seconds, one-word answers wherever he could manage one. Who is adopting AI faster, attackers or defenders. Whether a fully autonomous cyber attack has already happened or is still coming. What share of security alerts a machine will triage by 2030. And whether "security analyst" is still a job title by then.
