About Rabih Itani

Rabih is wired with a Founder’s Mindset. An insurgent who is facing the industry on behalf of customers, a front-liner who is obsessed with details, biased for action, and bound to personalize risks.Rabih is deeply rooted in the Middle East region market while backed by more than 30 years of experience built around multiple engagement models and view angles (the Buyer, the Value-Added Reseller, and the Vendor), and around multiple roles (Sales, Technical, Business, Development, Channel, Alliances management, and Operation).During these 3 decades, Rabih was always at the front lines and passionate about taking on new challenges. He was a pioneer in adopting, advocating, and at many times selling disruptive ICT and Cybersecurity technologies all while executing with excellence, overachieving objectives/targets, and at many times enjoying awards and front-page exposure.Rabih found passion in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Cybersecurity when he first engaged with the technology back in 2006 while deploying and operating open-source Machine Learning (ML) driven spam classification, and then again in 2017 when selling Aruba’s Discriminative AI and ML driven UEBA/NDR platform followed by selling Vectra’s AI (Discriminative and Generative) and ML driven threat detection platform in 2020. Rabih is currently enrolled and pursuing aGraduate Diploma in AI and Data Science at the American University of Beirut.
