BlackHat 2024: 80% of Security Breaches Could Have Been Prevented Emanuel Salmona, Nagomi Security

It was a pleasure to welcome Emanuel Salmona, CEO & Co-Founder of Nagomi Security, on the 2024 BlackHat Edition of CyberBytes.

Nagomi came out of stealth in April this year with their A round led by TCV, CrowdStrike, and Okta. They have built a Proactive Defense Platform which helps organizations maximize the utilization of their existing security tools.


Steffen Foley from Aspiron Search sat down with Emanuel and dug into: 


  • Emanuel’s background including living in 6 countries and speaking 6 languages
  • How they secured their first 10 paying customers without a website
  • What makes Nagomi’s platform unique  
  • Some of the biggest challenges they faced in the early days and how they overcame them
  • Key business objectives after coming out of stealth 
  • The transition from founder led sales to GTM led sales
  • Best of Breed vs Best of Suite
