ABOUT SCOTT GERLACH
As Co-Founder and Chief Security Officer at StackHawk, I lead our evolution from traditional DAST to a comprehensive AppSec Intelligence platform built on three pillars: Discovery, Testing, and Oversight. I bridge strategic product thinking with technical feasibility, helping security teams move beyond \"checkbox theater\" to deliver real security value.With 20+ years in information security, including leadership roles at GoDaddy and SendGrid, I\'ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn\'t in building effective security programs. At StackHawk, we\'re tackling the hard problems in API security, business logic vulnerability detection, and AI-powered security testing.Currently focused on- AI/LLM integration for security testing and automation- Competitive positioning in the evolving AppSec landscape- Building workflows that connect security testing to business outcomes- Platform strategy and customer successI run a sophisticated home lab with Kubernetes clusters, build AI agents for workflow automation (n8n, LangGraph), and contribute to MCP (Model Context Protocol) development. When not working on security, you\'ll find me dialing in either espresso shots on my modified Gaggiuino setup, or my golf game.Former CISSP | Multiple Patent holder in security
