Pearl-Sec
Cybersecurity Advisory Boutique for CEOs, boards, investors, and VIPs. Translating complex risk into clear choices and measurable resilience.
I am Hagay Perlmutter, founder of Pearl-Sec, a cybersecurity advisory boutique for CEOs, boards, investors, and VIPs. I bring 30+ years across technology, security, product, and business, including 20+ years of enterprise and board-level leadership. I have led security and digital strategy at a national scale for Israel’s National Digital Agency, safeguarding one of the world’s most targeted government environments, and I have architected enterprise-wide frameworks, cloud migrations, and high-assurance authentication programs aligned to ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
I am known for driving transformation with measurable outcomes: increasing operational efficiency, strengthening resilience, and building high-performing teams while managing multimillion-dollar budgets and complex vendor ecosystems. I am frequently tapped to evaluate emerging technologies and translate complex risks into clear actions. Highlights include founding membership in the Israeli (ISC)² Chapter and leadership of an identity security solution submitted to MIT Solve.
