My name is Larisa Kirkland and I have been fortunate to be part of Axway's Product Security Group for the past 6 years. I began my undergraduate journey as a Computer Scientist and quickly grew fond of Cyber Security. Today I help improve the cyber security posture of our products by performing manual assessments and employing multiple application scanning tools. I always strive to learn more about this exciting field by leveraging open source platforms that allow me to sharpen my skillset.
