I’m a multiaward-winning tech analyst and content consultant. I have about a decade of experience analyzing various technology trends, writing blog articles and news stories, with particular focus on enterprise tech.

While I've covered multiple beats, including blockchain, Web 3, consumer tech, and foodtech, my major areas of focus (over the last 3+ years) are AI, cybersecurity, energy transition, and 5G.

I’ve contributed for several leading publications and blogs, including Forbes, Fast Company, VentureBeat, eWEEK, HubSpot, Dropbox, Dark Reading, The Chainsaw, ITProToday, DataCenterKnowledge, and many more. My work has been featured or profiled by Techmeme, AngelList, NewsBreak, and others.

In addition, I publish the BrainBox newsletter,  where I share insights from tech business leaders for tech business leaders. I also have experience moderating panels and have spoken at a number of technology events.

Most companies believe they control their AI tools. They don’t.

Employees are bypassing approved software and using shadow AI apps you’ve never heard of. They’re uploading company data to free tools. They’re connecting AI agents to your systems without asking permission. And every new connection creates a security blind spot that traditional defenses can’t see.

Gal Nakash, co-founder of Reco and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, explains why companies that think they run 30 apps are actually running 500. He breaks down how AI agents become crown jewels for hackers, why one compromised agent can unlock your entire system, and what security teams must do differently now that the old rules no longer apply.

This isn’t about blocking AI. It’s about surviving the chaos that’s already here.
