Stas Yakobov is Head of Research & IoT at MADSEC with nine years of hands-on experience spanning systems engineering, penetration testing and senior information security consulting. Based in Haifa, he blends deep networking and VMware infrastructure know-how with practical skills in hosting, SQL and customer-facing technical support. His career path—from UAV technician and Israel Air Force officer to full-stack development and security roles—gives him a rare operational perspective on embedded systems and IoT threat models. At MADSEC he leads research initiatives that bridge offensive security and IoT engineering, turning vulnerabilities into actionable defenses. Colleagues rely on his ability to move from low-level hardware troubleshooting to strategic security programs, and he often surfaces non-obvious attack vectors rooted in legacy operational practices.
