Before becoming a Founder, Santiago Rosenblatt started his journey in the cybersecurity industry by hacking enterprises when he was just a child.

From ages 6 to 16, he used to hack games, the official NBA League Pass and systems like PayPal; Simply because the gaps were there and he really wanted to watch Kobe Bryant play for the Lakers.

He did this with an affordable computer, creativity and from his own bedroom. That was just the beginning of understanding one of the biggest cybersecurity problems.

Later in his life, Santiago began using his knowledge to defend some of the most amazing companies around the world from cyberattacks, including ScotiaBank, dLocal, and many others.

While helping DeliveryHero as Head of Application Security, he realized that defending companies was much more expensive than attacking them and set out to level the field.

At that time, he started meeting with cybersecurity experts and managers to better understand the reasons behind that problem. After lots of conversations, a solution to provide continuous top quality cybersecurity, emerged.

That solution came in the form of a new product: Augmented Pentesting.

One person was not enough to build a platform that would make such an impact, so a team of seasoned professionals and experienced investors, including the CISO of PaloAlto Networks and the Co-Founder of Auth0, joined forces to bring it to life.

Today, Strike brings together a team of 40 people and some of the most renowned investors who work tirelessly to secure continuously some of the largest companies in 4 different regions.
