Eitan Paltok, 30, is a Director at Code Blue Cyber and leads the company’s cyber incident response division.

He began as a malware researcher, then went on to lead the national government incident-response team. Today he focuses on what he loves most: solving complex problems and assisting organizations in real time. Outside of work he enjoys Israeli history, basketball and spending time with friends.
