Josh has worked as a consultant in IT and Application Security and Risk for 15 years now, as well as a Software Developer. In that time he has seen the good, the bad and the stuff which is sadly/luckily still covered by an NDA. This has given him an in-depth understanding of how to manage the balance between business needs, developer needs and security needs which goes into a successful software security programme.

As CTO for Bounce Security, he helps clients improve and get better value from their application security processes and provides specialist application security advice. His consultancy work has led him to work, speak and deliver training both locally and worldwide including privately for ISACA and Manicode and publicly for OWASP’s Global AppSec conferences, NDC Security and Black Hat.

In his spare time, he co-leads the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard project and is on the OWASP Israel chapter board and the OWASP Events Committee. In 2025, OWASP recognised his contributions with a Distinguished Lifetime Membership award.

With a B.Sc. in Computer Science and a background as a web developer, Liel brings both a strong technical foundation and a developer’s perspective to her security approach.

Outside of work, Liel channels her curiosity and problem-solving skills into artistic projects and is known for her collection of unicorns, a nod to her love of all things unique and magical.

Bounce Security was founded in 2017 by Avi Douglen on the product security and consulting aspect, alongside Maya on the organizational side. Over time, the team grew and now includes Josh as CTO and Liel and Miri as Product Security Consultants. The company makes sure to have a warm and caring environment, whilst staying professional.

Bounce Security consults on product security to development teams of all sizes, working with them to integrate security practices into their product development process. We’ve worked with some of the biggest organizations on their product security, as well as small startups. We prefer to work directly with development teams, often providing training on secure coding and other security topics. Product security, development processes, identity architecture, and access management are our specialties.

We bring this technical expertise to your table and merge it with a business perspective to ensure you get the maximum bang for your security buck.
