Weisz holds a bachelor's degree in Physics from Tel Aviv University and a master's degree in Physics and Quantum Optics from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.

"I chose to join the elite team of professionals at Claroty to help companies focus on their business without sacrificing security," said Weisz. "In the world of cybersecurity today, there is no more challenging yet rewarding arena to be in than that of OT infrastructure, where the stakes couldn't be higher. I'm excited to continue advancing Claroty's unique and highly advanced technological solution for industrial enterprises' critical sites."

In the role of VP of Product Management, Dunphy is responsible for identifying and driving key product improvements that make it easier for customers to monitor and protect their OT and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure. He has 25 years of cybersecurity industry experience, with a focus on building products and services to monitor enterprise cyber threats. Most recently, he led product management for RSA's NetWitness Platform. Prior to RSA, Brian led product management and global security operations center (SOC) operations for Symantec's MSSP, which he joined through its acquisition of Riptech, an early pioneer of managed security services. He started his career in the U.S. Air Force as a Communications Officer responsible for leading the Department of Defense's response activities for major cyber intrusions. Brian holds a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.

"OT is the next cyber battleground as there is no higher value target for threat actors – just imagine the potential impact of a compromised production line, water utility, or chemical plant," said Dunphy. "I joined Claroty because it has been an early pioneer in a space that has an enormous impact on the world. We are not just securing OT systems; we are protecting the lifeblood that powers enterprises' core functionalities and all of our daily lives. I am honored to be part of a world-class team delivering innovative solutions that fully enable OT and SOC teams to secure this critical part of the enterprise."
