About
Hi, I’m Mike Broomfield, an experienced cybersecurity leader with around 20 years of hands-on experience spanning consultancies, global financial institutions, and large-scale enterprises. My career has taken me from penetration testing and security architecture roles at leading consultancies and major banks to my current position as Head of Application Security & Security Testing at Tesco. I have a deep passion for security research and engineering innovation, with a focus on embedding security seamlessly into modern software delivery. Over the years, I’ve led initiatives that integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, automate developer guardrails, and strengthen the resilience of complex, cloud-native systems. My approach blends a developer-first mindset with a curiosity for how systems fail and how they can be built stronger.

I’m available for podcasts, panels, and interviews on cybersecurity, with a particular focus on application security, secure software development, and integrating security throughout the SDLC. I enjoy sharing practical insights from real-world experience building and leading AppSec programs, and exploring how security and engineering teams can work together to deliver secure software at scale.
