Summary
Matteo Meucci is a security-focused founder and CEO with over two decades of experience shaping application and AI security practices from consultancy to standards leadership. He co-founded Minded Security and led IMQ Minded Security before founding Synapsed.ai, blending entrepreneurial drive with deep technical expertise in AppSec. A long-time OWASP leader, he created the OWASP Testing Guide, led the Software Security 5D Framework, and now co-leads OWASP efforts on AI Testing and Maturity Assessment—work that directly influences global security testing norms. Matteo lectures at top Italian universities and directs an executive master in AI, translating research and standards into practical education. He’s an active conference speaker since the early 2000s, bringing a rare combination of hands-on penetration testing history and strategic framework design. Less obvious: his career consistently links open-source standards work with commercial productization, turning community-driven guidance into market-facing security services and platforms.
