Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Edwards is a veteran cybersecurity leader and CTO based in New York with 17 years of hands-on experience in vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and exploit development. He has co-founded and scaled security startups (Capsule8, acquired by Sophos) and led threat research and labs at both enterprise and startup stages, bridging deep technical research with product and business outcomes. Known for moving from intense technical roles—ZDI researcher, exploit developer, and senior security architect—to executive leadership, he combines offensive security expertise with strategic product vision. At Crash Override he now guides technical strategy while drawing on a track record of building teams that turn offensive research into defensive capabilities.
