Amichai Shulman is an Israeli cybersecurity expert and entrepreneur, best known as the co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Imperva, a leading company in web application security that is now part of Thales Group. Born and raised in Israel, Shulman began his career in the Israeli Defense Forces, serving in the elite Unit 8200, Israel's signals intelligence unit, where he gained expertise in cybersecurity and network defense. This military background provided a strong foundation for his subsequent ventures in the tech industry, establishing him as a key figure in Israel's burgeoning cybersecurity ecosystem, often referred to as 'Silicon Wadi.' After his military service, Shulman co-founded Imperva in 2002 alongside Shlomo Kramer, a longtime friend and fellow Unit 8200 alumnus. As CTO, he played a pivotal role in developing Imperva's core technologies, including its Web Application Firewall (WAF) and data security solutions, which protect enterprises from cyber threats. Under his leadership, Imperva grew into a global powerhouse, going public in 2011 and eventually being acquired by Thoma Bravo in 2019 for $3.6 billion. Shulman's innovations focused on real-time threat detection and mitigation, earning him recognition within the cybersecurity community. Post-Imperva, Shulman has remained active in the Israeli tech scene, advising startups and investing in cybersecurity ventures. His deep ties to Israel's intelligence and tech networks underscore his influence in mapping global influence networks, particularly in how military alumni drive innovation in private sector security. Shulman maintains a low public profile, focusing on technical contributions rather than media appearances.
