Echo: In security research, “when it works, nothing happens”

“As a teenager I loved playing computer games, and mostly, I loved winning them," says Mor Weinberger, who leads architecture and research at cybersecurity company Echo. "If you understood a system well enough, you could make it behave in ways its creator never intended. That instinct never went away." Before Echo, Weinberger previously led threat detection engines at Microsoft and served as a founding staff engineer at Argon Security (later acquired by Aqua Security). Today, his milestones include discovering over 250 million artifacts exposed via misconfigured registries, co-authoring the CIS software-supply-chain security benchmark, and speaking at major global stages like Black Hat and KubeCon. Within Israel’s cyber companies are small, highly specialized teams trained to think like attackers, find vulnerabilities and stay ahead of a threat landscape increasingly accelerated by AI.
