Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Leonov is a Lead Vulnerability Management Expert with over a decade of deep experience designing and automating vulnerability and compliance programs across enterprise environments. He has driven Vulnerability Management strategy and competitive analysis at Positive Technologies and led vulnerability intelligence, scanning orchestration, and remediation automation at Tinkoff Bank, building dozens of custom connectors and dashboards for Splunk/ELK and Grafana. Alexander combines low-level systems knowledge (OVAL/SCAP, Unix variants) with practical tooling—Nessus, Tenable, Acunetix, MDE—and Python-driven integrations to expand scanning coverage and improve remediation outcomes. He routinely prioritizes risk using exploitability, CWEs, CVSS, and telemetry rather than relying on scores alone, and creates playbooks and custom scanning content to close gaps. Based in Moscow, he began his career contributing security compliance checks to a commercial VM product and earlier worked on HPC/EMC software, a background that informs his systems-level approach to security automation. Colleagues rely on him for turning complex assessment data into actionable metrics and scalable processes.
