Prof. Avishai Wool 
Avishai has served on the program committee of the leading IEEE and ACM conferences on computer and network security. He has published more than 40 research papers and holds 10 US Patents with many more pending. He is also an associate professor in the School of Electrical Engineering, Tel Aviv University.
When he's not busy evangelizing AlgoSec's solutions, Avishai enjoys tinkering with all sorts of computer and network security technologies. Alongside some of his students, Avishai demonstrated that the pairing algorithm in Bluetooth 2.0 is totally broken (leading to the standardization of Bluetooth 2.1). More recently, he demonstrated that the proposed Israeli RFID-based elections are vulnerable to all sorts of attacks.
And if you believe Google searches, he is also one of the most famous "Avishai"s on the net.

When he is not brainwashing you to buy AlgoSec products, Nimmy can be found Kite Surfing at the nearest beach where the wind is blowing over 15 knots, and spending time with his wife and baby boy.

Robert Rhame
Robert is the Regional Pre-Sales Manager for Central Europe at AlgoSec. He is an old school geek that thankfully learned security ethics from a mentor when dial up speeds were still measured in baud. The largest segment of his daytime career provided a solid foundation in Governance and Compliance, but interest in the expansive field of security never dimmed. He began writing his own end user security blog several years ago to help normal folks make sense of the overwhelming, and help households and corporate users alike with their vulnerability and risk management.
When he is not bathing in the healing light of panel displays, you’ll most likely find him on his fixed gear bicycle in the rolling hills of Bavaria. Or perhaps in the Alps stomping up to another summit. Or free diving.
Tim Bloomer
Tim is AlgoSec’s Regional Systems Engineer supporting the Southeast in the US. Tim has lived and breathed information security for more than 20 years. He started out as a computer programmer where he learned the art of security within the code base itself. Tim then moved on to server administration always keeping security in mind with regard to every task he was assigned. Eventually Tim moved into network security and data center security with responsibility for both physical and electronic security for four large data centers.
When he's not supporting AlgoSec customers, Tim enjoys tinkering around the house or relaxing in his pool.
