Dan Berte

Product Manager with 15+ years of building consumer technology and cybersecurity products at the intersection of IoT, AI-driven security, and connected ecosystems. Creator of Bitdefender BOX, which Time Magazine called the "hero the Internet of Things deserves", a smart-home security platform licensed by NETGEAR and top-tier US ISPs, deployed across millions of routers worldwide. I've shipped products used by tens of millions of people globally, from zero-to-one hardware/software platforms to AI-assisted privacy tools.

I led global IoT vulnerability research at Bitdefender, contributing to remediation of vulnerabilities affecting billions of devices, and I translate complex technical findings into product strategy, public narratives, and actionable roadmaps.
