Tamar Bar-Ilan is the Co-Founder and CTO of Cyera. Upon graduating from the IDF's prestigious Talpiot Leadership Academy, Tamar entered into its elite cyber Unit 8200 where he built and ran the unit's cloud security division. As Israel’s National Security Agency, Unit 8200 was tasked with addressing advanced cyber threats by developing new processes and technologies. This experience allowed Tamar to hone his technical and practical expertise, and experience firsthand the unique challenges of securing data in the cloud. This experience inspired Tamar - and long-time friend Yotam Segev - to found Cyera in 2021. As CTO, Tamar guides Cyera’s deep commitment to understand and protect data by developing advanced technology and tools through customer-inspired innovation.
