Background

About Eli Levin

I don’t believe in checkbox cybersecurity — and neither should you.Security, privacy, and compliance have become board-level responsibilities, yet most organizations still treat them as fragmented technical functions. That gap is where risk lives.As the founder and Chairman of ELPC and Founder, CEO of CYBEROOT, I work with organizations to close that gap — turning cybersecurity and data privacy into structured, measurable business capabilities that support growth, resilience, and regulatory alignment.Over the past 15+ years, I’ve led and managed cybersecurity programs at scale, including oversight of cumulative security budgets exceeding $50M. This experience shaped how I approach decision-making — prioritizing risk, efficiency, and long-term sustainability over trends and tools.My approach is direct:if security doesn’t align with business objectives, it will fail.if privacy isn’t embedded into operations, it becomes liability.I partner with executive leadership to:* Transform cybersecurity from an IT function into a business enabler* Build risk-based strategies grounded in real-world threat landscapes* Integrate data privacy, governance, and compliance into daily operations* Establish clear accountability across technology, security, and management layersThrough CYBEROOT, I deliver this as CISO-as-a-Service — helping organizations navigate frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and emerging regulations, while maintaining operational agility.Organizations that succeed today are not the ones investing the most in security — but the ones structuring it correctly.
