In this episode of Mitiga Mic, Brian sits down with Ofer Maor, CTO and co-founder of Mitiga, for an in-depth look at how the company began, evolved, and redefined incident response for the cloud era. Ofer shares the story of how he and his co-founders, Tal Mozes and Ariel Parnes, saw a gap in how organizations handled cloud breaches and decided to rethink incident response from the ground up.
He explains how early IR efforts revealed a critical problem: without access to cloud telemetry and logs, even the best responders couldn’t investigate effectively. This insight led to Mitiga’s foundation — a massive distributed data lake designed to collect, normalize, and enrich data across cloud providers, SaaS platforms, and identity systems. Ofer describes how this architecture became the backbone for the company’s transition from services to a full platform for cloud detection and response (CDR).
The conversation explores how Mitiga’s unique blend of IR experience and engineering led to innovations in detection, investigation, and automation. Ofer details how the platform unifies telemetry across AWS, Azure, GCP, Okta, and SaaS tools, allowing rapid detection, deep investigation, and proactive response. He also discusses the company’s AI Insights feature, built to think like an analyst and accelerate triage, and how generative AI is now augmenting human responders to make security operations faster and smarter.
