Mazal brings 15 years of security leadership experience and most recently served as Chief AI and Security Officer at Gigamon. He has also held senior security leadership positions at Kandji and ActiveCampaign. Prior to joining GitLab, Mazal served on the company’s advisory board and was a GitLab customer for more than eight years.
“The faster agents move, the more critical it becomes that developers find and fix security vulnerabilities before code hits production. It’s a defining issue in software engineering right now, and something GitLab solves with Ultimate and GitLab Duo Agent Platform. Having spent years as a GitLab customer, Chaim understands the GitLab platform the way builders do. That practitioner instinct, combined with his security leadership depth, is exactly what we need to make GitLab the most trusted platform in the agentic era,” said Bill Staples, Chief Executive Officer of GitLab.
“Frontier models are rewriting what's possible in software security. AI-driven attacks are compressing exploitation timelines, while agents expose teams to risks they aren't equipped to govern yet. We have a real opportunity to define what a world-class AI security program looks like for us and our customers,” said Mazal.
GitLab said Mazal’s experience in artificial intelligence and security operations will support the company’s efforts to address emerging AI-related security challenges.
