Sergey Surkov is a proven information security leader with 9 years of experience building AppSec and DevSecOps programs across fast-moving Russian tech companies. Currently serving as CISO at Samokat after progressive AppSec leadership roles there, he has hands-on experience architecting security systems, leading teams, and embedding security into CI/CD and SSDLC processes. His background spans enterprise projects at Газпром нефть and practical engineering roots in embedded systems and automation from earlier roles and a master's in intelligent robotics from ITMO University. Notably, he combines systems-level security architecture with developer-facing DevSecOps practice—an uncommon mix that helps translate governance into actionable pipelines. Based in Saint Petersburg, Sergey is comfortable moving between strategic oversight and technical delivery to harden complex distributed applications.
