I’m the VP of Security Research at Checkmarx, a global leader in application security. In this role, I lead the company’s security research, overseeing and managing top-notch professionals - hackers, researchers, analysts, and bounty hunters.
Building and leading this group of experienced defenders, attackers, and security researchers are challenging. Still, it brings the invaluable knowledge and skills important for maintaining Checkmarx’s top-notch vulnerability detection technology and security education platform.
I’m truly enthusiastic about my work, and I believe that security research, when implemented right, makes a very big difference out there.
While I enjoy all aspects of my work, I think my favorite part is being able to educate and raise security awareness. This brought me to give talks at several events and major global conferences, among them:
• RSA Conference 2020, 2021, and 2022, San Francisco, CA, USA
• API World 2019, San Jose, CA, USA
• Global AppSec 2019, Amsterdam, Netherlands
• Global AppSec 2019, Washington, DC, USA
• OWASP AppSec US 2018 - San Jose, CA, USA
• DEF CON 26 IoT Village 2018 - Las Vegas, NV, USA
