Why Most Security Teams Are Fighting the Wrong Battles | Sharon Isaaci, Tonic Security

Security teams are drowning in alerts.

What if the real breach happens while you are busy fixing the wrong one?

In this episode of IsraelTech, we sit down with Sharon Isaaci, Co-Founder and CEO of Tonic Security, to discuss the growing gap between cyber detection and real risk reduction.


Sharon previously served as Chief Intelligence Officer and CISO of the IDF Home Front Command, where he was responsible for intelligence and information security during national emergencies. After transitioning to the private sector, he saw a recurring pattern: breaches often stemmed from vulnerabilities that were already detected but never addressed in time.


Tonic Security was built to tackle that exact problem.


We cover:

* Why most security findings are false positives

* The challenge of prioritization in modern cybersecurity

* How AI is changing exposure management

* The tension between responsibility and authority inside security teams

* Building a startup during wartime

* Why resilience is essential for founders
