MIND Security

Help us welcome Mark Cervantes to MIND as our new Regional Sales Director! 🎉

Mark brings 15+ years of startup experience, a decade in cybersecurity, multiple successful channel related appointments and what might be our favorite workplace philosophy of all time:
“Work smart, not hard.”

We’re pretty sure bringing Mark on board already counts as us working smarter.

Mark joined MIND because, in his words: “Why wouldn’t I join MIND?”

Fair point. Mark recognized an incredibly smart team, a DLP market going through a technical renaissance and a company leading that charge. All of this aligns perfectly with his #1 rule for success: surround yourself with smart people, work hard and it’ll lead to amazing things.

When he’s not helping customers, you’ll probably find him:
⛵ Sailing
🏂 Snowboarding or skiing
🏄‍♂️ Surfing
🍳 Cooking for family & friends
✈️ Boarding an international flight to his next travel adventure

We’re excited to welcome Mark to the team, especially if he’s bringing dinner.

Welcome to MIND, Mark! 🚀

👋 Help us welcome Maor Elimelech to the MIND team as our newest Frontend Developer!

Maor brings 10+ years of frontend experience, much of it from Israel's defense tech world, including 8200, where he played a key role in projects that won the Head of IDF Intelligence Award and are used by people across Israel and around the world.

Why MIND? In his words, the people. "Amazing, one by one, both professionally and as humans." (We're blushing.)

A few things to know about Maor:
⚽ He plays football and can probably out-dribble you.
🧠 Give him 20 minutes and zero prep, and he'll deliver a TED Talk on the intersection of Judaism, science, and technology.
🐟 Do NOT offer him tuna. Or ketchup. He'd rather go hungry, and according to army stories, he often did.
👨‍👦 Fun fact: He's two weeks older than his own uncle.

Welcome to the team, Maor! Tuna-free workplace certification pending.

🤖 If you want to move fast with AI, your first stop should be the CISO’s office.

I know. That sentence feels unnatural. It’s like saying, “If you want a relaxing vacation, start at the DMV.”

⚡ But companies are learning something important about AI: the organizations moving fastest long term are usually the ones with the strongest security and data governance foundations already in place.

Because AI loves access, it’s a personality quirk you just learn to tolerate.

Most security leaders want AI adoption to succeed. They just prefer governance to happen before the AI tool starts behaving like the most ambitious intern in company history.

Security doesn’t slow AI down. It’s what keeps AI projects from turning into cautionary tales six months later.

New from our Data Trust + AI Success series: Why CISOs need a seat at the AI design table.

Why CISOs Need Early AI Project Involvement | MIND Research Business leaders set the AI pace. CISOs translate the risk. MIND research explains why early security involvement is what separates governed AI from the rest.

4 out of 5 AI projects do not meet their KPIs.

Why?

Most companies are connecting AI to what’s essentially a giant data junk drawer:
🗝️ Old permissions
🫆 Mystery spreadsheets
⚠️ Sensitive data nobody’s classified or cleaned up in years

🗑️ in, 🗑️🔥 out. Everyone’s shocked when the outputs are unreliable. AI doesn’t magically organize chaos. It scales it.

When AI projects fail, it’s not usually the model that’s to blame. It’s the unclassified data, ungoverned access and invisible data debt underneath it.

Check out BLOG 4️⃣ of our Data Trust + AI Success Blog Series:

Why Most AI Projects Are Failing (and It Isn’t the Model) Only 1 in 5 AI projects meet their KPIs. New MIND research with 124 CISOs reveals why the data, not the model, is what’s breaking them.

If you’ve ever tried figuring out whether an AI cybersecurity company is trustworthy, you know the process is basically:

“We use AI.”
“Cool, how?”
“It’s very advanced…”

Not exactly comforting.

That’s why MIND is doing this differently.

We’re the first and only data security company with both:
✅ ISO/IEC 42001 certification for responsible AI governance
✅ Acceptance into Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program

One proves we govern AI responsibly.
The other helps us innovate at the leading edge of data security.

Because AI in cybersecurity is real. So are the threats.

Turns out “trust us” isn’t actually a security framework.

In this eBook interview with ISMG, MIND Field CTO Landen Brown shares why DLP, DSPM and AI security must converge to support modern security teams.

“It’s not enough to stitch multiple tools together. You need a single platform to discover, classify, detect, remediate and prevent.”

🤖 How agentic AI is reshaping enterprise data movement
🐢 Why legacy controls can’t keep pace

Softchoice knows, you can’t do the San Antonio River Walk without a great pair of boots…and maybe a little bourbon to get a little shine on ‘em. We’re not saying that’s what Isaac Leipprandt is doing in this picture. 😉

Much obliged to Joe Petito, Ryan Lawrence and Austin Paige for letting us kick it with you at Boots and Bourbon San Antonio!

Sure, some might think of cybersecurity as a religion, but that’s not this. This is The Cyber Security Council CISO Dinner at the beautiful Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas.

Thank you, Brian Greene, for a great evening. Great to connect with you, GS Jha and Prasanth Gangadharan!
