WooChul Shim (심우철)
Corporate Vice President, Head of Samsung R&D Institute Poland
- Bio and Research Interests
- Although my major is a little bit far from cybersecurity, after I joined Samsung Research, I have been enjoying cybersecurity until now.
- My research work covers a range of topics: software obfuscation, connectivity security for IoT devices, security development lifecycle, automated software vulnerability analysis, and threat intelligence.
- Currently, I’m interested in security test methods that work in CI/CD pipeline.
