Bronfman is trying to make security a continuing part of how manufacturers develop and maintain connected products.
Slava Bronfman is co-founder and CEO of Cybellum, a product-security software company. His background in cybersecurity, product management, and technical standards informs his work with manufacturers securing connected devices.
A Technical Background in Product Security
His Security Magazine biography describes service as an officer in an Israeli intelligence unit, where he held a product-management role. It also records a master’s degree in computer science and a bachelor’s degree in information systems, both with honors.
The same biography identifies his work representing the Standards Institution of Israel on the ISO 21434 technical committee. That automotive cybersecurity experience forms part of a career focused on the software inside manufactured products.
Building Cybellum With Michael Engstler
Bronfman co-founded Cybellum with CTO Michael Engstler. The company’s account of its origins describes a gap between established engineering systems and the largely manual work of identifying and managing cybersecurity risk in embedded devices.
Cybellum’s answer has developed into a platform for software inventories, vulnerability analysis, risk decisions, and compliance evidence. It serves automotive, medical-device, and other manufacturers. Bronfman’s current CEO role covers business development and relationships with customers implementing that product-security work.
Continuing the Brand With LG
LG’s 2021 acquisition announcement said Cybellum would remain an independent entity and brand. Bronfman described the partnership as a way to accelerate the company’s product-security management work.
The current platform continues the lifecycle approach described in Cybellum’s founding story: identifying software components, deciding which risks affect a product, and maintaining security after release. The medical-device offer applies that approach to manufacturers’ security and regulatory work.
