As a manager in Imperva's threat research group and an expert in Web Application Security, I lead efforts to capture and analyze hacking activities, create new security solutions and research new threats and technologies. I have more than 10 years of industry experience in coding, inventing security solutions and discovering new security threats. I have shared my knowledge as a guest writer in several IT magazines and as a presenter in major security conferences like Blackhat, OWASP AppSec and more. I hold a B. Sc. in Computer Science from the Technion Institute of Technology.
