His security and big data market and product expertise is often saught after especially in the areas of DLP, SASE, EDR, identity management, network security, hunting, incident response, threat intelligence, but also data governance, compliance, and privacy. In recent years his focus has been on emerging broken threat intelligence approaches into behavior-led systems and processes to understand devices and humans through behavior driven anomaly detection and psycho social approaches.

Data and Artificial Intelligence

Making data understandable and extracting actions. These are two areas that Raffy is very passionate about. Across big data architectures, data science, artificial intelligence, and data visualization, there are not many that understand this data lifecycle better. A trailblazer in applying big data and data science (AI) for security purposes, he was also one of the earliest voices to caution of the abuse of analytics (AI) in security.

Strategy

An innovator at heart. With a strong vision as a driver and a thorough understanding of the problem space and customer needs, Raffy explores and refines the use of existing technologies and process and introduces new components to deliver delighting outcomes. As a core example, he introduced security visualization as a discipline back in 2006.
