Watch our exclusive interview with Merav Bahat, Co-Founder and CEO of Dazz (acquired by Wiz).

From driving $2.5B in revenue at Microsoft over 4.5 years, to founding #Dazz and selling it to Wiz!

We start by discussing the key #decisions at Dazz that mattered most: from assembling the right founding #team and building a strong culture, to #pioneering actionable security and #remediation- not just detection - validated through interviews with over 100 CISOs ensuring real customer needs.

It worked out: Wiz acquired #Dazz for $450M!

We then explored the founder #mindset #PostAcquisition - how to keep communicating with customers and proving value within a larger organization.

Next, we discussed post-merger #product integration, the collaboration with Yinon Costica to ensure flawless #integration and the eventual decision to #rebuild everything on the Wiz #platform.

Lastly, we looked ahead at the #future of #remediation and security posture in an ever-changing landscape.

And Merav’s hobbies outside of work? 🏃‍♀️🎸🎵
