Board combines national security leadership, global institutional experience, and public-company governance as Cyabra expands across enterprise and public-sector markets

New York, NY, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyabra, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYAB) (”Cyabra” or the “Company”), the digital trust platform helping enterprises and governments identify coordinated manipulation and protect trust and authenticity online, announces the composition of its Board of Directors following its Nasdaq listing. Existing directors Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State and CIA Director, who has served on the Board since January 2024, and serial technology founder Sonny Vu, who has served on the Board since November 2021, are joined by Josette Sheeran, former Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme during its Nobel Peace Prize-recognized period; James Flanagan, former Vice Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and U.S. Managing Partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers; and Michael Madon, Chief Revenue Officer of ABCorp and former SVP & GM of Mimecast, who joined the Board upon listing after serving as a Cyabra advisor since January 2022.

“Cyabra has established a Board with direct experience at the highest levels of national security, global institutions and public-company leadership, experience that is increasingly central to how organizations assess and respond to coordinated influence and information risk,” said Cyabra Co-Founder and CEO Dan Brahmy. “Mike Pompeo led both the CIA and the U.S. State Department and currently serves on the boards of VEON and Kyivstar, companies operating at the center of global telecommunications and geopolitical environments. Josette Sheeran led the UN World Food Programme during its Nobel Peace Prize-recognized period, serves on the board of Capital Group, which manages global investments, and previously served as Vice Chair of the World Economic Forum, bringing deep experience across multilateral systems, global policy and capital markets.”

“Jim Flanagan spent decades leading PwC as Vice Chairman, COO and U.S. Managing Partner and now serves on public company boards, providing governance and operating discipline at scale. Michael Madon brings senior leadership across cybersecurity and enterprise software at Mimecast, alongside experience in the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis and as a U.S. Army officer, spanning national security, threat intelligence and enterprise adoption. Sonny Vu has built, scaled and exited companies at scale and brings a founder’s perspective on product, technology, and execution.”

Mr. Brahmy concluded, “This is the level of experience required to operate in the environments where we are increasingly engaged, from global enterprises managing brand and narrative risk to government and defense organizations addressing coordinated influence and information security. Since our Nasdaq listing, we have expanded across enterprise and public-sector customers, including Fortune 500 engagements, strategic partnerships and work with international organizations focused on information integrity. This Board strengthens our ability to deepen those relationships, expand access and convert growing demand into long-term enterprise and government partnerships.”
