Nokod Taps Financial Cyber Veteran Yuval Illuz for Advisory Board

Nokod Security has added Yuval Illuz to its Advisory Board, bringing over 25 years of banking and cybersecurity leadership to the team.

This isn’t just a standard board expansion. It’s a targeted move to address the specific, high-stakes challenges of financial services cybersecurity. As banks rush to adopt low-code/no-code (LCNC) platforms to stay competitive, they face a massive governance gap. Yuval’s background, spanning operational resilience and disruptive fintech – will be instrumental in helping Nokod close that gap for global enterprises.

Bridging Innovation and Control in Banking

Yuval knows the tension between “move fast” and “stay secure” better than anyone. He most recently served as Operating Member and CTO at SC Ventures, Standard Chartered Bank’s innovation arm, where he built secure foundations for new financial technologies.

His resume reads like a blueprint for enterprise governance:

• Group CISO & COO (Trust, Data & Resilience) at Standard Chartered.
• Executive General Manager at Commonwealth Bank.
• Deep expertise in AI, operations, and corporate strategy.

For Nokod, this means our roadmap is now guided by someone who has sat in the CISO chair at major financial institutions. He understands exactly why enterprise application security fails in shadow IT environments – and how to fix it.

“Yuval knows what keeps financial CISOs up at night. His experience with global cybersecurity challenges is a massive asset as we help enterprises tackle the risks of low-code adoption.” – Yair Finzi, CEO of Nokod Security

Why This Matters for Your Security Program

Attackers can easily find countless Power BI reports published on the web with the help of search engines.

Financial institutions are heavy users of citizen development to bypass legacy IT bottlenecks. But without proper oversight, these apps become liability magnets.

Yuval joins Neeraj Mathur (ex-VMware) on the board, solidifying a team that understands the intersection of automation and risk. With this expertise, Nokod is doubling down on its mission: giving you the visibility to govern LCNC platforms without killing the innovation your business demands.

“Nokod’s approach to securing digital environments is essential in an era of rapidly evolving threats. I’m excited to help lead the charge in protecting organizations worldwide.” – Yuval Illuz
