Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStåle KAFFEKOPP Pettersen is a seasoned product security leader with 14+ years of hands-on experience blending development, penetration testing, and risk-driven security strategy across major Norwegian and international enterprises. As Vice President of Product Security at Cognite and former Head of Product & Application Security at Schibsted, he has scaled security programs across hundreds of teams, launched multiple bug bounty initiatives, and embedded cloud-native security controls in complex SDLCs. He’s an AWS- and cloud-security specialist who has discovered critical vulnerabilities (including a CVE listed in CISA’s KEV catalog) and operationalized CNAPP, SAST/DAST, and security training for thousands. An OWASP Oslo chapter leader and board member since 2016, he combines community leadership with practical delivery to shift engineering culture toward secure development. Notably, he began as a developer and still draws on that background to make security usable for product teams and to design “golden path” controls that teams actually adopt.
