OPSWAT Founder and Leadership
OPSWAT Founder
Benny Czarny is the Founder, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of OPSWAT, a global cybersecurity company dedicated to protecting the world’s most critical infrastructure through a prevention-first philosophy: trust no file, trust no device. He founded OPSWAT in 2002 from a small San Francisco apartment and, without outside investment, bootstrapped it into a global organization of more than 1,000 employees serving enterprise and government customers in over 100 countries. Under his leadership, OPSWAT pioneered Deep CDR™ Technology and delivered breakthrough technologies including multiscanning, secure file transfer, and advanced sandboxing—now trusted across energy, defense, transportation, finance, and government sectors.
With more than two decades of expertise in secure architecture, encryption, and vulnerability management, Benny is a leading advocate for data sanitization and critical infrastructure protection, helping shift cybersecurity from reactive detection to proactive prevention. In December 2025, he authored and published his first book, Cybersecurity Upside Down, distilling his philosophy and challenging the industry to rethink how trust and prevention should define modern security.
