Summary
Peter Bosch is a Distinguished Engineer with 15+ years designing operating systems, wireless and communication systems, cloud management and application/network security, currently leading Cisco’s AppSec CTO venture and teaching application security as a research associate professor at the University of Twente. His career spans Bell Labs and major networking vendors where he bridged deep protocol and firmware-level expertise with product architecture—everything from Plan 9-inspired OS work to LTE signaling and management engine hacking. Known as an electronics and firmware tinkerer and hobby OS developer, he brings hands-on hardware/firmware instincts to large-scale virtualization and security problems. He combines academic rigor (PhD in Computer Science) with a track record of incubating cutting-edge technologies inside industry, making him equally comfortable in research labs, standards work, and enterprise engineering.
