About Ofer Shezaf

Share/Save

My name is Ofer Shezaf, and I have been part of the information security industry for the last 20 years or so, most of them creating new security products.

While I have designed and implemented different information security solutions, I am mostly known as an application security expert. I have spent many years at Breach Security, a WAF vendor, first as CTO, in charge of security research and innovation and later on as VP of product management. I am also passionate about the application security open source community, having founded OWASP Israeli chapter and contributed to the ModSecurity open source WAF project.

I an currently a product manager for security solutions at HP ArSight, though this site reflects only my own ideas and thoughts and not HP's.

My CV can be found on LinkedIn. If you want to learn about my personal life, and you speak Hebrew, you can read my personal blog.
