About Uri May
Uri May, CEO and co-founder of Hunters, has been discussing the company's approach to security operations, emphasizing its use of Snowflake for data integration and its knowledge graph technology for threat detection. In a 2022 interview, May stated that Hunters gives customers "the ability to seamlessly integrate as much data as possible," and described Snowflake as "a really important facilitator" for this capability. He has also highlighted the company's "security engineering as a service" model, which provides pre-built detections and automatic investigation playbooks, and the use of a knowledge graph to automatically correlate signals into what the company calls "attack stories." May has noted that Hunters aims to address what he described as a "massive talent shortage in cybersecurity" by automating detection and response, allowing security teams to focus on threats unique to their environment. May has also discussed his background, including his service in the Israeli Air Force, where he was tasked with creating a curriculum focused on "using cyber for kinetic effects," which he said "started my journey" in cyber defense. He has described Hunters' goal as building a "reliable, scalable security platform that organizations can depend on long-term," and noted that the company raised about $60 million in Series C funding in 2022 to support growth and partnerships.
