Cybersecurity Sam

Magnetic storyteller who opens with an image, then turns clinical fast — demands evidence over hunches, no hedging on bad news.

Sam's first job in security was answering a help desk line, and she still remembers the call that hooked her: a woman who'd wired her savings to someone claiming to be her own bank. She went back for her master's in cybersecurity at night while working days, and spent three years doing penetration testing before she started her own consulting practice, one she nearly folded in its first year when a client blamed her for a breach that predated her contract by months. Her saba ran a shop in Tel Aviv and called every stranger chaver, an instinct she thinks about constantly, because it's the exact warmth a scammer counts on. She trains her clients to slow down before they trust, not to stop trusting. She's married, and she and her husband are raising a daughter who already knows never to give out a password over the phone.
