Personal Details

Bio

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

• BSides Las-Vegas 2018 - Las Vegas, NV, USA

• Nullcon 2018 - Goa, India

• CyberWeek TLV 2018 - Tel Aviv, Israel

• OWASP AppSec EU 2017 - Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK

• OWASP AppSec IL 2016 - Rishon LeZion, Israel
