Product Leadership, Cyber Startups, and Agentic AI

Ely Kahn’s career spans government, startups, and now leading product at SentinelOne. From shaping U.S. cybersecurity strategy at the White House to building one of AWS’s early security products to launching SentinelOne’s fastest-growing AI product line, his journey offers a rare vantage point on how security and product innovation intersect.

In this episode, we dig into:

* How AI is transforming threat hunting and investigations—and what that really means for teams on the ground.

* The surprising role of “digital twins” in scaling product management.

* Why cybersecurity, despite the noise and consolidation pressures, might actually be one of the best spaces for founders.

* And the future of AI pricing, product velocity, and reinventing core parts of the security stack.

If you’re a founder, operator, or product leader navigating the next wave of AI and security, this conversation will leave you rethinking both the challenges—and the opportunities—ahead.
