Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCoby Lerer is a Principal Solutions Architect based in Melbourne with eight years focused on embedding application security into SDLCs and enabling DevSecOps at scale. He blends presales engineering and hands-on integration work—building VS Code plugins, GitHub Actions and serverless bridges—to make security tooling practical and fast for engineering teams. With deep expertise in CIAM, OAuth/OIDC and authentication/authorization patterns, he translates complex security concepts into actionable implementations that align with business goals. Coby has a strong background across enterprise monitoring, API strategy and customer-facing solution design from roles at Veracode, Okta and major systems integrators, which helps him tailor adoption to diverse toolchains. He is equally comfortable in technical sales, POCs and platform-level interoperability, and is known for driving incremental improvements that make yesterday’s process better. Outside security, he trades futures and options, a hobby that hints at a data-driven, risk-aware approach to decision making.
