With a strong focus on identity management, intrusion detection, and vulnerability management, Andrew is committed to fostering a culture of security awareness and best practices within the industry. His ongoing efforts at OWASP not only contribute to the advancement of application security standards but also empower organizations to build resilient systems in an increasingly threat-laden digital landscape.
