We are excited to announce that Ofer Gayer has joined Miggo Security as our new Vice President of Product, where he will lead product strategy and development.
Ofer brings nearly two decades of experience in cybersecurity, with leadership roles across application security, data security, detection and response, and cloud security. Before joining Miggo, he served in senior product leadership positions at Hunters, Exabeam, Imperva, and Incapsula.
A Product Builder with a Philosophy
We asked Ofer what guides his approach to product leadership:
"Security products should simplify, not complicate. I often compare building products to cooking — chefs cook for others, not themselves. The same applies to product leaders: you start with the person you’re building for. The best products may look simple on the surface, but that’s because the complexity has been managed behind the scenes."
This philosophy is deeply aligned with Miggo’s own DNA: clarity, precision, and simplicity in security.
Surprising and Grounded
Every new leader brings a fresh perspective. We asked Ofer what stood out as he first joins Miggo.
"What strikes me most was how self-aware the company is. In the startup world, it’s easy to get swept up in hype or avoid tough realities. Miggo is refreshingly grounded: clear about the challenges, honest about what needs to be solved, and focused on building solutions that truly matter."
That clarity and focus is what fuels Miggo’s momentum.
Why Now?
For Ofer, timing is everything.
“I think the overflow of LLMs going inside the stack is the single biggest change in AppSec since the move to cloud. It makes applications fundamentally non-deterministic: you can’t predict every outcome, and traditional tools were never built for that. That shift is happening right now, and it’s why Miggo’s approach is so timely."
Lessons from the Journey
When asked what advice he’d share with others building their careers in cyber, Ofer emphasizes the craft of simplification:
“Cybersecurity is full of complexity — acronyms, dashboards, endless alerts. The real craft of product is to simplify that for the user. If you can make a defender’s life easier and clearer, you’re solving the right problem.
The same principle applies to how you work as a PM. Your mind — like your UI — needs whitespace. A common pitfall is overextending yourself because you care too much or try to do everything at once. The work isn’t measured in story points, it’s measured in outcomes. Say no, say not now, prioritize, and focus. That’s how you create real impact.”
The Unexpected Side
Outside of security, Ofer is a passionate cook — an outlet that mirrors his product philosophy. To him, the best meals (like the best security tools) appear simple, but only because the complexity has been managed behind the scenes.
This creativity and empathy, combined with his deep technical expertise, make Ofer a natural fit for Miggo.
The Miggo Difference
Having started his career working on cloud WAFs, Ofer understands both their power and their limitations. What excites him most about Miggo is the opportunity to move beyond one-size-fits-most approaches.
Miggo’s application-level context allows security teams to achieve precision and efficiency that traditional tools can’t match. For Ofer, success isn’t measured by features shipped, but by hearing customers say: “this makes my life easier.”
We’re proud to welcome Ofer to the Miggo leadership team as we continue advancing ADR and AI application security with clarity, precision, and simplicity.
