About the job

Requirements
  • At least 10 years of experience in cybersecurity, security operations, security architecture, or security consulting, including senior leadership.
  • Experience operating as a CISO, deputy CISO, SOC leader, security operations executive, or senior security architect, with credibility engaging CISOs, CIOs, and hands-on practitioners.
  • A track record leading change management and helping security organizations adopt new operating models and workflows while bringing stakeholders along.
  • Deep command of SOC operating models and maturity, SIEM, SOAR, MDR, detection, investigation, response, and security automation.
  • Ability to assess complex enterprise environments and scope integrations, connectors, workflows, tuning, and customizations at the appropriate level of detail.
  • Experience leading consultative engagements with senior security stakeholders and translating business goals into measurable outcomes, success criteria, and phased plans.
  • Strong executive presence and clear writing and speaking, with the ability to simplify complex topics for executives without losing practitioners.
  • A consultative, evidence-driven style, including listening well, diagnosing carefully, and constructively challenging assumptions in a trust-building manner.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and early-stage operating models, and the ability to build reusable frameworks.
  • Willingness to stay hands-on with technical discovery, platform walkthroughs, workflow design, and live case discussions, and to learn the platform well enough to demonstrate it credibly.
Responsibilities
  • Engage on strategic or complex deals and help carry them to a technical and executive win.
  • Scope solutions around each customer's path, including replacing an MDR or MSSP, automating or transforming SOC operations, or displacing a legacy SIEM or SOAR.
  • Define the target operating model, maturity baseline, first use case, and roadmap, planned backward from the customer's strategic deadline.
  • Diagnose complex customer environments by identifying architectural, operational, and organizational gaps and constructively challenging assumptions.
  • Identify and document advisory opportunities that create immediate value, such as licensing optimization, tool consolidation, and detection engineering improvements.
  • Lead executive security conversations and SOC transformation workshops, translating technical pain into business outcomes.
  • Drive adoption, customer satisfaction, and referenceability across advised accounts.
  • Ensure each customer's journey is executing well across the account team and step in when outcomes are at risk.
  • Build and refine reusable playbooks, frameworks, and transformation models.
  • Mentor the solutions engineers worked alongside and raise the consultative bar across the post-sales team.
  • Bring customer insight to Product, R&D, Services, and Sales to shape the roadmap, workflows, and enablement; route deep implementation work to the appropriate engineering teams.
Desired Qualifications
  • Prior experience as a CISO, deputy CISO, or enterprise SOC leader, ideally with at least 15 years in cybersecurity and 6 years leading a large enterprise SOC.
  • A degree in cybersecurity or information systems.
  • A track record designing or leading SOC transformation, operating model change, or security modernization programs.
  • Experience facilitating executive workshops, roadmap reviews, QBRs, or board-level security discussions.
  • Exposure to MSSP or multi-tenant service provider delivery models.
  • Familiarity with AI-driven or agentic security operations and federated SIEM approaches.
  • Experience creating reusable security strategies, operating models, playbooks, or transformation intellectual property.
  • Experience advising across several strategic accounts at once without becoming the permanent account owner.

About the company

7AI builds an agentic security platform that uses AI to act autonomously in real time to defend against cyber threats. Its product, the 7AI Agentic Security Platform, leverages the speed, coordination (swarming), and computational power of AI to make decisions and take actions without human input in order to reach predefined cybersecurity goals. Unlike traditional security tools that require human-led responses, 7AI's agents operate autonomously to detect, respond to, and neutralize threats. The platform aims to give defenders an advantage by enabling rapid, coordinated actions across environments. The company differentiates itself through its autonomous agentic approach, created by renowned cybersecurity experts and backed by major investors, to move beyond manual or semi-automated defense and toward end-to-end autonomous security operations.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 7AI launched PLAID ELITE on May 26, 2026, broadening managed AI-native SOC revenue.
  • Channel pipeline grew 6.5x in three quarters, and partners now drive nearly 45% of pipeline.
  • AWS Marketplace, ISV Accelerate, and Security Hub Extended materially improve distribution and enterprise credibility.

What critics are saying

  • Dropzone AI, Prophet Security, Exaforce, and Radiant Security attack the same autonomous SOC buyer.
  • 7AI still lacks a separate GA date for Federated SIEM and Build after Black Hat 2026.
  • AWS co-selling and partner deals create platform dependence; a partner shift would slow pipeline quickly.

What makes 7AI unique

  • 7AI separates detection from storage with Federated SIEM across existing customer systems.
  • Its AI agents completed nine million investigations, returning over one million analyst hours.
  • 7AI Build lets partners create custom agentic workflows and AI-native security services.

7AI launches federated SIEM and Build platform for AI-native security operations

7AI has launched Federated SIEM and 7AI Build at Black Hat USA 2026. The new capabilities allow security teams to query and investigate data wherever it lives, rather than centralising everything in a SIEM. Federated SIEM enables teams to access data across multiple locations, including 7AI's platform and existing customer systems. 7AI Build lets enterprises and partners create custom agentic workflows and AI-native security services. CEO Lior Div said three in five customers want to stop consolidating data into SIEMs. The platform builds a context graph for each customer environment, connecting federated data access with enterprise insights. In its first year, 7AI's agents have completed over nine million investigations, returning more than one million analyst hours to security teams.
