Dmytro Nikitiuk
Co-Founder & CEO · Kyiv, Ukraine
Dmytro has spent 20+ years on the operational side of enterprise cybersecurity in Ukraine. Before founding Lorika he held the CISO seat at multiple Ukrainian companies; ran a security consulting practice in Kyiv and Baku; and served as Deputy Head of Network Security Unit at Raiffeisen Bank Aval for five years — protecting one of the largest retail banking networks in the country during the 2008-2012 wave of bank-targeted cyberattacks.
The pattern that pushed him into building a product: every time he sat down to renew an endpoint-security contract, he had to bolt together two or three vendors (one for posture, one for compliance evidence, one for vulnerability scanning) to answer the question the auditor was actually asking. So he built the answer.
Master's degree in Computer and Information Systems Security from the National Aviation University (Kyiv).
