Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIrene Michlin is an Application Security Lead with over 15 years of hands-on cyber security experience and nine years focused on application security and DevSecOps leadership. She currently leads AppSec at Neo4j after building and running EMEA AppSec consultancy and SDL practices at IBM and NCC Group, translating security strategy into measurable SDLC improvements. Irene blends deep technical roots in C++ and antivirus/embedded systems with practical agile coaching—she has repeatedly introduced Lean and Scrum practices to accelerate secure delivery. Her specialties include threat modeling, secure architecture and integrating security into agile teams and distributed development. Based in Wendover, UK, she is comfortable shifting between code-level assessments and executive roadmaps, and is known for making secure development pragmatic rather than prohibitive. A not-obvious strength is her long history in low-level systems and anti-malware engineering, which gives her a rare perspective on application threats and resilient design.
