About Guy Pergal

I’ve always been fascinated by the world of technology—my journey began at just eight years old when I stumbled upon programming. That spark ignited a passion that has grown into more than just a career; it’s my way of shaping a safer digital landscape. With over a decade of experience in cybersecurity and engineering leadership, I thrive on building resilient systems and nurturing high-performing teams. Currently leading the Platform Department at Axonius, I manage a diverse team of over 25 engineers across multiple countries including Israel, the US, and Brazil. Together, we’ve established the foundation for our shared stack that underpins all Axonius products. It’s rewarding to see how our collaboration leads to innovative solutions that address real-world security challenges. Before this role at Axonius, I helped build three independent teams while managing 12 engineers focused on stability and performance. Designing observability stacks from scratch was both challenging and exhilarating—seeing our efforts translate into improved system reliability is what keeps me motivated. My time as a Security Researcher at Microsoft further honed my skills in reverse engineering malware across various platforms. The thrill of protecting millions through advanced threat detection is something I carry with pride. Outside work, you might find me exploring local coffee shops or diving into the latest tech trends. I believe that sharing knowledge is just as important as acquiring it—whether it's through casual conversations over coffee or mentoring aspiring engineers.
