Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLinus Särud is a Senior Security Engineer based in Malmö with 12 years of hands-on experience in web security, bug bounty hunting, and product-focused research. He blends offensive security practice from running his own Bug Bounty consultancy with applied research experience—recently developing a transformer-based anomaly detection model for system logs during his master's thesis. At Detectify he moved from triaging false positives to shipping security features, technical content, and public-facing research, showing a rare mix of product sensibility and deep technical craft. Currently at SCIBER he continues to bridge machine learning and security, bringing practical exploit knowledge to defender-focused tooling. Known for solving tricky problems rather than flashy demos, he pairs an Engineering Physics background from Lund (with study at UIUC) with a pragmatic, research-driven approach to hard security challenges.
