Background

About Roman Lebed

Cybersecurity leader and architect with 10+ years of experience in building product-driven AppSec organizations, leading R&D teams, and applying AI/ML to redefine how security scales. I combine deep technical expertise — from reverse engineering and fuzzing to offensive research and DevSecOps — with strategic leadership in transforming security into a growth platform. I currently lead a 45+ person Application Security Center focused on secure software delivery, zero-touch architectures, and AI-driven automation. My teams build and ship solutions that accelerate security: AI-powered autopatching and automated pentesting platforms (2K+ auto-fixes/year, 25% vulnerabilities remediated automatically, 80% triage automation). Fuzzing-as-a-Service and integrated SAST/DAST pipelines across CI/CD. Developer-centric security practices that boosted release velocity by 4.5×. Passionate about offensive research, threat-driven fuzzing, and reverse engineering at scale. Advocate for a future where AppSec is invisible to developers, embedded in the platform, and powered by intelligent agents.
