Paul DeJarnette
Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Technology and security executive with 20 years spanning agentic AI security, military cyber operations, cloud transformation, and enterprise infrastructure leadership. Founded mistwire.io to build an autonomous network defense platform that removes the predictability and behavioral patterns attackers rely on.

"The attacker needs to be right once. The defender needs to be right every time. mistwire inverts that asymmetry — we make every 'right time' the attacker thought they had disappear before they can use it."
