About Me

Muhammed Hüseyin Karazeybek is a Lead Cyber Security Consultant specializing in Application Security and Penetration Testing, with nearly 6 years of hands-on experience across banking, fintech and other regulated industries. He leads a 10-person dedicated cybersecurity team for a global bank within RSU Consultancy, overseeing approximately 1,500 application security and penetration testing engagements per year.

In his current role, Hüseyin drives end-to-end AppSec programs: web, mobile and API penetration testing, vulnerability analysis and management, open banking security assessments, penetration testing architecture design and security consultancy. He aligns the bank's security assessments with leading standards and frameworks, including OWASP, PTES/OSSTMM, NIST SP 800-115, MITRE ATT&CK, TIBER-EU, BDDK and PCI DSS.

On the SSDLC side, Hüseyin leads SAST, DAST and secure development initiatives, partnering closely with development teams to embed security from the earliest stages of the software lifecycle. He also delivers quarterly secure coding trainings to 300+ developers, translating real-world findings into practical engineering guidance.

Beyond consulting work, Hüseyin builds AI-driven tooling for AppSec testing and IncidentOps workflows, combining Python-based ML development with LLM integration. He is a Certified AI/ML Pentester (C-AI/MLPen), Certified AppSec Practitioner (CAP), eWPTXv2 (Certified AppSec Pentesting Expert), API Security Architect, and Microsoft Certified Software Developer (MCSD).

Hüseyin is also an active speaker and instructor at universities, technical communities and industry events — including GDG Bursa DevFest, GDG Hackathons, the Siber Vatan & Türkiye Siber Güvenlik Kümelenmesi Bootcamp 2025 and the HSD YouTube channel. He co-founded the AI and Cybersecurity communities at Bursa Uludağ University, where he continues to mentor student teams working on AI and security projects.
