Michael Sheppard is a cybersecurity founder and seasoned leader with over two decades of experience building and maturing enterprise security and DevSecOps programs across financial services, healthcare, and retail. He has a proven record of turning vulnerability backlogs and tool sprawl into measurable risk reduction—driving remediation of tens of thousands of issues and reducing platform risk by more than half at scale. Michael blends hands-on technical delivery (SAST/DAST/IAST, SBOM/ASPM, RASP, secrets and certificate automation) with executive-facing KPI/KRI reporting and cross-functional program execution. He founded an AI-driven autonomous vulnerability remediation startup after leading application security and cloud-native automation teams at JPMorgan Chase, Humana, and others. Comfortable both coding serverless automations and designing zero-trust architectures, he is equally fluent in productizing security capabilities (SecAPI/Vault) and embedding them into developer workflows to increase adoption. Based in Orlando, he pairs a systems-engineering background with pragmatic business enablement to make security an accelerator rather than a blocker.
