Yossi Appleboum is a graduate of Israel's military signals-intelligence unit (Unit 8200) and founder of a cybersecurity company called Sepio.
Sepio makes technology for spotting rogue or malicious hardware plugged into a network, and its tech was highlighted by the US government's cybersecurity agency, CISA.
He came out of Israel's Unit 8200, then built a company whose product got recognition from CISA, the American agency that guards critical computer systems.
It's one concrete example of a bigger pattern the engine tracks: veterans of an Israeli military intelligence unit ending up wired into the infrastructure that protects US networks.
