Alen Capalik, Founder and Chief Architect
Alen discovered his passion for information security as a gray-hat hacker growing up in Eastern Europe.

He took this realization with him to the United States where he conducted research on attacker behavior while serving as network and security architect for banks, financial institutions, and national exchanges. In 2004, Alen founded NeuralIQ in order to create real-time systems that turn the collective intelligence of attackers into a resource that can be used against them.
Alen most recently served as Chief Technology Officer for Tradeware Global, a leading provider of Order Management Systems software on Wall Street.
