In today’s cybersecurity world, teams are drowning in work. Alerts flood in, tasks pile up, and even the best-resourced security teams struggle to keep up. That’s where Twine Security comes in — a company on a mission to transform how cybersecurity teams operate by giving them something they’ve never had before: digital humans.
We spoke with Benny Porat, Co-Founder and CEO of Twine Security, to learn how his team is tackling one of the most pressing challenges in the industry.
The Problem: Too Much Work, Too Few Hands
Benny sums up the mission with striking clarity: “We’re building superhumans with AI.”
Twine is solving the overwhelming workload facing security teams by developing AI-powered agents that can execute cybersecurity tasks from end to end. These digital teammates don’t replace human talent – they amplify it, making teams faster, more efficient, and better equipped to respond to today’s nonstop threats.
The idea behind Twine grew out of Benny’s years at Claroty, where he worked closely with some of the world’s largest companies and their security teams. What stood out during that time wasn’t just the complexity of the problems but the sheer challenge of execution. “The biggest challenge today isn’t detecting issues – it’s acting on them,” Benny explains. That realization led to Twine’s launch, with a laser focus on closing the cybersecurity execution gap.
Why Product Focus Matters
While many startups rush to scale, Twine is taking a deliberate and thoughtful approach.
Benny is clear-eyed about the company’s priorities: “Let’s make it work. Let’s provide full value to our clients.” He compares building Twine’s digital humans to a long and careful process, not a sprint. The goal is simple but ambitious – to become a critical part of customers’ security teams and deliver real, measurable impact. For Benny, success means creating a product that clients can’t imagine working without.
Advice for Founders
Reflecting on his own journey, Benny has clear advice for aspiring cybersecurity founders: be mission-driven.
“A company is not a short-term game,” he says. “If you’re in it for the wrong reasons, it’s easy to get distracted. But if you truly believe in the impact of what you’re building, you’ll overcome every challenge.”
It’s a reminder that chasing fast exits or trend-hopping won’t carry a startup through the inevitable ups and downs – passion and belief in the mission will.
With bold ambition and deep industry insight, Twine Security is charting a new path in cybersecurity – one where human teams are supported by AI-powered teammates, unlocking a new era of security execution.
