TEL AVIV, Israel, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --  Twine Security, the leader in building AI Digital Employees for the cybersecurity industry, has been named one of the Top 10 Finalists for the 20th annual RSAC™ 2025 Conference Innovation Sandbox contest. Twine's first AI Digital Employee, Alex, learns, understands, and takes away the burden of Identity and Access Management (IAM) tasks – proactively completing organizations' cyber objectives. Twine will present its technology to a panel of renowned industry judges and a live in-person audience on Monday, April 28 at RSAC 2025 Conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, has become the world's premier showcase for the cybersecurity startup community as promising young cybersecurity companies showcase their groundbreaking technologies and compete for the title of "Most Innovative Startup." The competition is widely recognized as a catapult for success as the Top 10 Finalists have collectively celebrated more than 90 acquisitions and received $16.4 billion in investments over the last 19 years. Twine will have three minutes to pitch the panel of judges before a question-and-answer round. For the first time, each of the Top 10 Finalists in 2025 will receive a $5 million investment to drive cybersecurity innovation.

"As we enter a new age of threats, innovation and new technologies are critical to achieving a safer society," said Cecilia Marinier, Vice President, Innovation & Scholars, RSAC. "The RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest is an unparalleled opportunity for both the industry and the entrepreneur to highlight industry-changing solutions, companies, and entrepreneurs."

In recent years, the cybersecurity sector has grown exponentially to combat the surge in threats and attacks, driven by the adoption of cloud technologies, remote work, and AI tools. However, the industry is is still woefully under-prepared to face this new reality, with 87% of business executives globally claiming their companies are not adequately protected against cyber attacks. This is further exacerbated by a severe talent deficit in cybersecurity, a shortage which increases the risk of threat exposure and forces CISOs to focus on firefighting instead of taking a proactive approach to risk management. Twine's platform equips cybersecurity teams with AI Digital Employees who execute tasks from A to Z to help close the industry's critical talent gap. Twine's AI Digital Employees work alongside cyber teams to augment their capabilties and complete their security objectives.

Twine was formed by cyber experts and longtime friends Benny Porat, Nadav Erez, Omri Green and Justin Woody, all former core team members at multi-billion-dollar-valued cyber company Claroty, where Porat was Co-founder and CTO, leading it to $100M+ annual recurring revenue (ARR), with more than a thousand customers globally. Twine's innovative product architecture leverages AWS Bedrock as a fundamental component, to efficiently deploy sophisticated NLP models for use cases such as account classification and User Access Reviews recommendations. The company recently received $12M in seed funding from Dell Technologies Capital, Ten Eleven Ventures, and a long list of angel investors including Assaf Rappaport and Roy Reznik, Co-Founders of Wiz.

"Cyber teams simply have too much on their plate. That's why we are equiping them with AI Digital Employees who execute tasks from A to Z and help close the industry's talent gap," said Twine's co-founder and CEO, Benny Porat. "We are building trustworthy Agentic AI professionals who work to understand and execute tasks just like your best employee would, no matter your organization's data readiness state. We look forward to presenting Alex, our first AI Digital Employee and IAM expert at RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox 2025 as it celebrates its 20th anniversary."

The RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest kicks off at 9:30 AM PT on Monday, April 28 and winners will be announced at approximately noon the same day. The panel of renowned expert judges includes David Chen, Head of Global Technology Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley; Dorit Dor, Chief Technology Officer at Check Point Software Technologies; Niloofar Razi Howe, Operating Partner at Capitol Meridian Partners; Paul Kocher, Independent Researcher; Nasrin Rezai, SVP & CISO at Verizon; and Christopher Young, Investor and former CEO at McAfee and former Microsoft Exec; Hugh Thompson, RSAC™ Executive Chairman and Program Committee Chair of RSAC™ Conference, will return to host the contest.
