E05: From Child Coder to Pioneer of AI-based Email Security | Eyal Benishti, CEO, Ironscales

Hello listeners, welcome back to this month’s episode of Delve the podcast!  

Today we are delving into artificial intelligence, it’s been a few years now that we’ve been talking about this phenomenon. Email is something that we use every day, and for those that work in the IT industry, email security is second-nature. For those who don’t, we have to take it back to basics. Helping me get into this topic is Eyal Benishti, the pioneer of AI-driven email security and founder & CEO of Series C-funded, and most badass logoed email security company - Ironscales.

Born and raised in Israel, Eyal was always into technology and coding from a very young age, in fact, at the age of seven! So for all of you out there thinking about whether you should get your children into coding, here is the embodiment of what that means. Eyal’s dad bought him a book in basic coding, and he spent most of his free time at a computer shop around the corner from where he lived to code. He went on to build computers; including an Amstrad starting on black and white screens, building up through his various Pentium machines, floppy disks, CD ROMs and hard drives.

Eyal served in the army for almost four years, which is a requirement in Israel, before he bounced into a BSc in Computer Science, and then took his first job as a Java developer. He had various jobs in the tech industry prior to ending up at Radware. It was during his time at Radware that Eyal conceived Ironscales as a concept and the rest is history!

Sit back, relax and enjoy this episode of Delve!
