After a career working as a software developer, Sherif Koussa, CEO & Founder of Software Secured realized how much insecure code he had been introducing. He learned about OWASP, fell in love with security and began pentesting with Wells Fargo. Sherif has authored security exams for SANS, and founded OWASP Meetup Ottawa, bringing the membership from 0 to 1300 members. In 2010, Sherif Koussa started Software Secured, a penetration testing company designed to bring bank-grade application security to fast growing software companies at a price point they can consume.
