Jody Len shared thisHuge milestone for my friends and founders Shachar Hirshberg and Dan Shiebler at Artemis Security —$70M and out of stealth! Grateful to have joined the journey as a founding advisor, helping build strategic partnerships alongside an extraordinary team, relentlessly focused on stopping bad guys. Here we go! Michael Maizel Karen Levy Gershon Sam HarringtonJody Len shared thisSeven months ago, Dan Shiebler and I started Artemis Security. Today, we’re coming out of stealth with $70M in funding. The round was led by Felicis with First Round Capital and Brightmind Partners doubling down, alongside top VCs including Theory Ventures, Lockstep, Two Sigma Ventures, and prominent cybersecurity industry leaders, including the founders of Abnormal AI and Demisto, the former CEO and CTO of Splunk, and senior executives from CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, and Okta. I spent a decade building enterprise security platforms at Demisto, Palo Alto Networks, and AWS GuardDuty. Dan led AI/ML at Abnormal AI and Twitter. Across hundreds of security teams, we kept seeing the same thing: more data than ever, and almost no way to use it to stop attacks. Detections tuned for someone else's environment. Investigations done by hand. Attackers moving faster than any human workflow can match. We built Artemis to change that. Artemis understands your environment before it starts looking for threats - modeling relationships between users, machines, cloud workloads, applications, and business context across every log source. Detections adapt to your environment. Every signal triggers an autonomous investigation that already knows your baseline. You don't get an alert and a link to raw logs. You get a story: what happened, the evidence, what was contained by Artemis, and what needs your judgment. The result: our customers have reduced their mean time to detect and respond to security events by 94%. We're in production with some of the world's largest companies across financial services, technology, and insurance, analyzing over 15,000TB daily. We are grateful for those who believed from the first moment till now and excited for what’s to come. If your security team is spending more time assembling context than making decisions, we'd love to show you what Artemis can do. Want to learn more? Visit https://lnkd.in/ejKq3zik

Jody Len shared thisHuge congratulations to Elad Ben Meir and the Onit team who emerge today from stealth! Grateful to serve as Founding Advisor for this team, the best is yet to come! 🎉Jody Len shared thisI've spent my career watching the same broken cycle repeat itself. Vulnerability detected. Ticket created. Bounced between teams. Never resolved. We spent the last year talking to hundreds of practitioners. What we heard would make your jaw drop. Some security teams ignore vulnerabilities entirely. Others randomly choose which ones to fix, based on pure best effort. Some built elaborate tagging systems that quietly trained their teams to ignore anything that isn't tagged. This isn't a people problem. It's a structural one. And nobody had fixed it. Then attackers started using AI. The window between discovery and exploitation collapsed to near zero. They don't wait for your change management process. They don't wait for your backlog to clear. Defenders have been fighting with one hand tied behind their back and I decided that wasn't acceptable. What I didn't expect was how fast the world would validate what we were seeing. Fortune 1000 organizations became our design partners within months. They didn't need much convincing, they were living this problem every single day. That level of traction, that fast, from organizations at that scale? That told us everything we needed to know. Today, Onit Security comes out of stealth. We built AI agents that autonomously handle the entire exposure management lifecycle, from ingesting findings, to validating ownership, to executing remediation, to deploying compensating controls when patching isn't possible. The security leaders who win the next decade won't have the biggest teams. They'll be the ones who close the gap between detection and remediation at machine speed. None of this happens without the people who believed before there was anything to see. To our investors, Gur Talpaz (Brightmind Partners), Pavel Livshiz (Hetz Ventures), Tayler Sipperly and Stephen Ward thank you for betting on a vision others might have called ambitious. To our early adopters and design partners, thank you for trusting us with your most critical security workflows. To our channel partners, thank you for helping us bring this to market. Defenders should be able to act faster than attackers. That's why we built Onit. Security teams define the strategy. Agents handle everything else. The backlog ends here. onit.security #OnitSecurity #OutOfStealth #CyberSecurity

Jody Len shared thisA major milestone for my good friends at Snowfire AI ❄️🔥! The best is yet to come. Greg Genung Kris D. Josh AndersonJody Len shared thisHuge milestone announcement! Snowfire AI ❄️🔥 is thrilled to announce - we have achieved our SOC 2 Type II attestation! Read more here on Forbes: https://hubs.li/Q043RJyb0. At Snowfire AI ❄️🔥 security is not just a feature, it’s part of our mission. This mindset stems from how we design and build our "Adaptive Decision Intelligence" AI platform to how we handle enterprise customer data day in and day out. Security and AI are paramount. Snowfire AI ❄️🔥 was developed from the ground up with best practices and secure-by-design principles that work backwards from data security first. This announcement is a verified elevation of our team's mission, internal systems, and our unwavering commitment to security in enterprise production environments. Thank you Prescient Security and Vanta for the rock-solid partnership.

Jody Len shared thisIt’s been a pleasure to serve as a founding advisor to Artemis Security! As we approach launch, the momentum is strong. We’re seeking exceptional enterprise sellers ready to build from the ground up, scale alongside the industry’s top partners, and deliver truly differentiated, AI-native solutions to customers. DM me or Shachar Hirshberg if interested!Jody Len shared thisAn Enterprise CISO deployed us alongside their existing stack. Within the first day, we surfaced real threats their legacy SIEM missed for months. That's not a sales pitch - it's what's happening in production right now. We're hiring Founding AEs in New York and on the West Coast to build at scale. You've been early at a security company before - maybe AE #1 through #5. You built pipeline with no brand recognition, closed six and seven-figure deals to F1000 security leaders on product strength alone, and you want to do it again. But this time with technology that makes CISOs pull their team into the room for a live demo. We're still in stealth and already getting inbound from enterprises who heard what we delivered for others. DM me if this sounds like your next thing - or tag someone it might be.

Jody Len shared thisFeeling grateful for the opportunity to meet Lola Selberg and so many other inspiring leaders at the FIERCE100 Women’s Conference! Lola’s panel—where she shared stories from her Girls Nation experience and message of balanced leadership with empathy over ego—truly stayed with me. Another special moment came when Abigail Maines invited John Giacomini to become the first man ever to take the FIERCE stage. He led a heartfelt conversation with his remarkable daughters—an exchange that beautifully embodied allyship, showing what’s possible when we reach across divides to champion progress through respect, courage, and shared purpose. Moments like these remind me that real change happens through connection, courage, and leading with heart. #lolaforpresident #fierce100 Jen Winters Ashley Rossi Sarah Giacomini, M.S. Emma Giacomini Daniella BeraldoJody Len shared thisFew words can describe how I felt walking out of the 3rd annual FIERCE100 women’s conference a couple of weeks ago hosted by fiercenow.org. Abigail Maines and Rebecca Cahak, you continue to inspire and challenge me. Thank you for everything. I was truly honored to close out the conference as a panelist (huge shoutout to Arden for the interview) and to share the stage with so many inspiring voices. It was so special to be surrounded by hundreds of powerful and authentic women, all committed to uplifting one another and creating change. I’m so proud to be part of such an impactful community that believes in me and every woman’s potential to lead. I can’t wait for what the future holds (it is definitely female), and I am already counting down the days until next year!

Jody Len reposted thisJody Len reposted thisLast night was a memorable moment as a father, teaching my 7-year-old son how to play chess—without any explanations. We simply started playing, and after the third game, he managed to beat me using AI. My wife captured the moment when I was checkmated by him for the first time. What amazed me was how he began to recognize optimal moves on his own using the AI assistant, lighting up optimal moves and strategic pathways, learning the game's strategy, understanding unique piece movements, and grasping broader strategic concepts as he began enjoying saying the word “check” to me. After his second win in the fourth game, he exclaimed, “I like this game.” “I like this game too buddy.” Something became pretty clear to me - In that moment of losing - I felt immense gratitude. I was proud as a father, but I also realized something deeper about the intersection of chess and business and how AI should work out of the box to help support in making the most optimal business decisions at any given time. It should just work — out of the box and it should help move with you — it should adapt as the game changes. This experience embodies the kind of helpful interaction we should expect from AI in our lives. At Snowfire AI ❄️🔥, we are committed to our mission of “Complexity Made Simple,” which is crucial for decision-making in the age of AI. Both chess and business decision-making are complex. The aim of AI Decision Intelligence should be to identify options and optimal moves early on, providing guidance at every turn. We need to surface insights and strategic moves quickly, helping to clarify important options and signals from available business data, even when the options aren’t immediately visible. We must “go beyond the prompt” because many people don’t know what questions to ask or how to frame them. Our approach to AI should prioritize outcomes first. In AI, we need to empower business decision-makers with the moves, options, and optimal strategies available to them—much like the chessboard for my son. This kind of experience is essential for those looking to succeed in AI. This experience has given me a wonderful gift: the opportunity to play a beloved game with my son more often and a powerful analogy for understanding AI in business. The story of the AI chessboard illustrates how AI can help identify optimal outcomes, critical strategies, and navigate the complexities of decision-making. Both chess and business are about strategy, planning, offense and defense, and about critical thinking to arrive at optimal decisions. Come take a look at www.snowfire.ai if this resonated with you as a leader.

Jody Len shared thisHere's to the Builders. Thanks Jesús Mantas for sharing.Jody Len shared thisI just learned about Jane Goodall’s passing. In my last conversation, I asked her why she always talked about hope. She sat down with me and told me: “No matter how dire the situation, how unlikely the odds, we must always have hope - because without hope, there is no action, and without action, there is no change”. It is one of the most direct and profound exchange I have had with anyone. Builders have the burden to be optimistic - it is our job to design a better solution, a better answer, a better outcome. And to achieve it, we must have and inspire hope - no matter the odds. Jane would also say she was “just a person”, precisely to make the point that any one of us can make an impact. But she was much more than that. Rest In Peace, Dame Jane Goodall. Sending positive thoughts to her family and friends. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jody Len reacted on thisJody Len reacted on thisToday marks one of the most meaningful milestones in my career as I step into the role of SVP, Global Alliances at CrowdStrike. This isn’t just a new chapter, it’s a moment of possibility. We’re operating at the intersection of urgency and opportunity in cybersecurity, where what we build together truly matters. And what gives me the greatest confidence is that we’re not starting from scratch, we’re building from strength. We have an extraordinary partner ecosystem, a world-class Alliances organization, and technology that continues to redefine what’s possible, guided by a visionary executive team. When you combine that with the scale of the market opportunity and the momentum we’ve created, it’s clear: we have everything we need to shape what comes next. George Kurtz, Daniel Bernard—thank you for your leadership, your vision, and your trust. I’m inspired to build alongside you as we continue to push boundaries and elevate the impact we have together. To the global community of CrowdStrikers and our partners: this is where it gets exciting. I’m energized by what we will create together as we scale our ecosystem and deliver even greater outcomes for our customers around the world. And to the Alliance leaders who helped lay this foundation—Jody Len, Matthew Polly, and Michael Rogers—thank you. Your leadership and dedication have been instrumental in shaping the Alliances organization and partner strategy that make this moment possible. Michael Rogers, your advocacy, leadership, and belief in what our team can achieve has been truly defining. I’m deeply grateful. The path ahead for CrowdStrike, our partners, and the market is bold and we’re ready for it. https://lnkd.in/grJPtA2d

Jody Len reacted on thisJody Len reacted on thisAfter eight incredible years, and 28 years in cybersecurity, I’ve decided to begin my next chapter beyond CrowdStrike. 🚀 Announcing this at our global in Las Vegas was a truly unforgettable moment — one filled with gratitude, pride, and reflection on the journey we’ve shared. 🙏 Before I joined CrowdStrike, George Kurtz told me, “It’s more about the journey than the destination.” That perspective shaped everything that followed — and what a journey it has been. Standing on that stage, passing the torch to my successor, Amanda Adams, was a true career highlight. Amanda is an exceptional leader — a builder, innovator, trusted advisor, and friend. I have complete confidence in her as she leads this team into its next phase. 🔥 When I started, our global alliances team was fewer than 20 people. Today, we are hundreds strong — a team united by purpose and driven to make an impact. 🌍 While the growth — from $171M to $5.25B in ARR — is significant, what matters most are the people, partnerships, and shared belief that our work made a difference. 📈 To our partner community — from GSIs and solution providers to LARs, MSSPs, hyperscalers, cloud and marketplace partners, technology alliances, and distributors — I’m proud of what we built together. 🤝 From day one, we aligned on a simple vision: put the customer at the center of everything we do. Together, we delivered — scaling globally, driving innovation, and creating real impact. To my extraordinary global leadership team — Amanda Adams, Jon Fox, John Taylor, Brandon Andrews, Daniel Danielli and Chris Stewart as well as our extended leadership team Andy Duffett, Erik Gomer, Mark Murtagh, Chris Kachigian, Shannon Bodnar, Gautam Mehandru — thank you for your trust, partnership, and friendship. What made this team so special wasn’t just what we achieved, but how we showed up for each other — with integrity, commitment, and a shared belief in what we were building. To Matthew Polly — thank you for your confidence over the years! To all of our alliance managers, solution architects, operations, and partner marketing teammates — a heartfelt thank you for making the impossible possible and for the passion, precision, and excellence you brought every day. Each of you made a difference which strengthened our ecosystem, delivered for our customers, and helped make the world a safer place. 🛡️ A special thank-you to Amanda and Daniel Bernard for the unforgettable sendoff at RSAC. Being surrounded by so many respected peers and friends across the cybersecurity community was humbling. 🙌 To everyone at CrowdStrike — thank you for the passion, resilience, and commitment you brought every day. It has been a privilege to be part of this mission with you. Keep making history. ⭐ I’m excited for what’s next — new ways to contribute, new adventures, and more time with family. I leave with deep gratitude and lasting inspiration. #Gratitude #NextChapter #CrowdStrike #Cybersecurity #Leadership #Partnerships

Jody Len reacted on thisJody Len reacted on thisLast week was one of the best of my career. It started with the Intezer AI SOC Live Event at NASDAQ — a room full of security practitioners, partners, and customers having real conversations about what's broken in the current SOC model and how to fix it. Great speakers, sharp panels, and takeaways worth acting on. From there, two focused days with our GTM team. Rare to work alongside people who are both talented and genuinely committed to getting it right. The direction we're heading at Intezer is clear and strong. The week also gave me dedicated time with two key members of my channel team, Claudia and Kevin. Those focused conversations matter — and it shows in how we execute together. The week closed with our team delivering a record-breaking quarter. That doesn't happen without customers who trust us — thank you. Special thanks to Itai Tevet, Roy Halevi, Alon N. Cohen, Jim McDonough, Asher-Tsvi Schwed, Lital Asher - Dotan, Adrianna (Ada) Filipek, Mitchem B., Trace Sheridan, Inese Pumpure, Claudia Slane, Kevin Pistorius, and everyone else who made it happen.

Today’s threats mix cyber, disruption, and misinformation, and they can hit any organization, not just high-profile targets. In this article, Tracy Reinhold (#Everbridge CSO) breaks down what this means and how teams need to rethink preparedness. Big takeaway: how you communicate in a crisis matters just as much as how you respond. Worth a quick read. https://lnkd.in/gjzyB3iF

So excited to announce VulnCheck's new partner program officially to bring our exploit intelligence solutions to the broader market via key partners of ours like Optiv and Carahsoft - who are bringing us into large accounts who demand a new level of threat intelligence around that's better and faster vs the industry standard of reports that require human analysis. Thank you to Michael Peters at Optiv for making the time for our announcement and thanks to the Ten Eleven Ventures team for their support through KKR.

Today has been a day. If we aren't announcing yet another industry award (not so humble brag) we are announcing yet another notch on the belt establishing us as the leader in the identity security space. 🥇 Today we are excited to introduce two new capabilities: Identity Graph & Inventory and Access Intelligence. With these powerful additions to our Identity Security Platform, identity and security teams can: - Make every identity and its relationship across the entire hybrid environment visible - Quickly find hidden access paths and over-privileged accounts to get to least privilege faster - Stop threats before they spread by seeing where and how identities use the access they’ve been given This has been a long time coming with months of tireless effort from so many. Too many to write here but I need to capture a few: Revital Aronis (and team), Shai Keren ( 👑 ), Alicia diVittorio, Katharina Klein, Leonie Fraser, Tom Sadon, Alexa Gentry, Melanie Meyer Sommer, Aimee S., Jenya Raisfeld - but this was an absolute cross company effort with all hands on deck. Having a great product is a necessity. Having a great company with humans who truly care what we are building and deeply care about one another is a gift. 💖
