Barak Engel’s company, EAmmune, manages security programs across many companies and verticals. He was CISO and Chief Privacy Officer for MuleSoft just prior to its $6.5 billion acquisition by Salesforce, and has seen StubHub as its CISO through the company’s $4B acquisition by ViaGoGo and its massive digital transformation project. 

Barak serves on multiple board advisory positions, providing critical technology, risk, product and market insights to boards and CEOs. First gaining exposure into the intersection of business and security while at Netvision, Israel’s largest ISP during the dotcom boom, he became focused on how security will inevitably become an essential business discipline. Barak has built, managed and counseled security departments across countless and diverse organizations, including MuleSoft, Amplitude Analytics, Live Nation/Ticketmaster, StubHub, Barnes and Noble, bebe Stores and many others.  

Barak’s first book “Why CISOs Fail – The Missing Link In Security Management” has been widely praised for its brutally honest assessment of why so many security leaders fail to connect effectively with their CEO and board, why that failure has created unnecessary additional risks for enterprises, and how it can be fixed. In recognition of its critical contribution to the field, the book was nominated and accepted into the Cybercannon in 2021. Barak’s second book, “The Security Hippie”, published in January 2022, aims to make the field of information security more accessible to the average reader.
