Josh Shaul joins CTM's Board of Advisors

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. - CTM Insights, llc ("CTM"), a leading cybersecurity incubator and build studio,   announced the appointment of Josh Shaul to its Advisory Board, replacing the seat held by Roland Cloutier.  Shaul joins other industry luminaries who help guide the investment and operational strategies of CTM's portfolio.  As the Vice President of Web Security at Akamai, he is uniquely qualified to spot emerging market needs for which no solutions currently exist.

"Cybersecurity presents all of us with constantly evolving problems," said Shaul.  "CTM occupies a unique space, investing in big ideas to solve big problems.  While most investors wait for a market, CTM proactively identifies needs and creates solutions that let us stay ahead.  I'm excited to be a part.”

"I've known Josh for many years and respect both his technical prowess and his intellectual horsepower.  I’m pleased to welcome him to the Board and look forward to working with him   for years to come," said Lou Steinberg, Founder and Managing Partner of CTM.  "I also want to thank Roland for his guidance over the past two years as we took CTM from concept to reality."   

CTM’s ongoing initiatives include ways to secure data without encryption, ways to protect against fraud though frictionless transaction authorization, and a trust overlay for the Internet.   New research includes creating a method for the efficient detection of attacks against data integrity, such as deep fakes.
