As the CEO and co-founder of Axoflow, Balázs is focused on solving one of the biggest challenges in modern security operations: making security data accessible, actionable, and cost-effective at scale.
He's been working in this space for decades—starting with creating syslog-ng, a foundational tool in log and event collection used around the world. That experience gave him a deep understanding of the complexities behind gathering, processing, and analyzing security-relevant data across diverse environments.
With Axoflow, they're reimagining how security teams interact with their data—from collection to enrichment to real-time insights.
