Anthony Zatika is the technical visionary behind Disruptive Rain's AI platform. As CTO and Co-Founder, he leads our engineering organization and drives the technical architecture of SIDIS and our suite of AI products. Prior to becoming a founder, Anthony worked at xAI Corp (x.ai), where he contributed to the development of Grok 2, 3, and 4—focusing on advanced reasoning capabilities, model training pipelines, and large-scale data collection. This hands-on experience building frontier AI systems at one of the world's most ambitious AI labs shaped his approach to creating production-grade cognitive intelligence platforms.

Anthony holds a B.S. in Computer Science and an M.S. in Cybersecurity and AI, and will be pursuing a Doctorate in Computer Science beginning Summer 2025. His academic rigor is complemented by industry-recognized certifications including CISSP and CySA+, positioning him at the intersection of advanced AI research and practical cybersecurity implementation.

His research contributions have been published at prestigious international venues. At the 17th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2024) in Sharjah, UAE, he presented 'Improving IDS Performance with XGBoost: Hyperparameter Optimization and Real-Time Analysis.' At the 33rd USENIX Security Symposium in Philadelphia, he presented 'Innovations in Intrusion Detection Systems.' Most recently, he was invited as a distinguished speaker at AICCC 2025 in Tokyo, hosted by Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, where he presented 'Proactive Cyber Defense: Predictive Risk Mitigation Using Autonomous Agent Alliances,' introducing a novel approach to autonomous cyber defense through agent collaboration.

Anthony's technical philosophy centers on building systems that are both powerful and secure. As a chosen spokesperson for cybersecurity and AI, he has delivered keynote presentations and technical talks across major international venues including Tokyo (AICCC 2025), Boston (ODSC 2025: 'Bridging the Divide: Translating Complexity into Clarity'), Sharjah (UCC 2024), and Philadelphia (USENIX Security 2024). His work emphasizes measurable risk reduction, auditability, and safe autonomy in AI systems—demonstrating that engineered-feature classical machine learning can outperform naive deep learning baselines in cybersecurity contexts. His experience spans from creating modular ML-based security systems to architecting enterprise-scale AI platforms that serve real business needs.
