- Former Samsung Leader to Spearhead Company’s Asia-Pacific Expansion as Global Demand for Autonomous Offensive Security Accelerates
XBOW (https://xbow.com/), the leading autonomous offensive security company, today announced the appointment of WonLae Lee (https://www.linkedin.com/authwall?trk=bf&trkInfo=AQGiwVFAkAptWQAAAZvkgopYTu7YGwHWKADdPT150s8dAq2pIbO-a3h1CO2x2NwMF8DyGQ9y6dgJAnbtpAw17XjEgdQ-kP28T6vFdSxOv8ueBuSRq6Gukxi_Kz_erNG6K6vdraw=&original_referer=&sessionRedirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fwonlae-lee-52b571244%2F) as General Manager, South Korea. Beginning with South Korea, Mr. Lee will lead XBOW’s expansion across Asia-Pacific (APAC) as organizations accelerate adoption of autonomous offensive security in response to a surge in AI-enabled cyberattacks. XBOW plans to expand its APAC presence through customer deployments, partnerships, and hiring throughout 2026.
“We’re honored to welcome Mr. Lee to XBOW at a pivotal moment in our growth,” said Oege de Moor, CEO and Founder, XBOW. “His deep cybersecurity expertise and nuanced understanding of the South Korean market will help APAC organizations rapidly evolve their security strategies. I’m excited to see the immense impact he’ll make on our business in 2026 and beyond.”
Mr. Lee brings three decades of expertise in penetration testing, Red Team operations, vulnerability research, and incident response. Most recently, he served as Advanced Penetration Test Team Leader at Samsung SDS, where he led Red Team operations across Samsung affiliates, established standardized offensive security methodologies, and identified critical vulnerabilities across electronics, finance, cloud, and IoT systems. He also played a key role in recruiting and mentoring offensive security talent, while additionally advancing Samsung’s internal capabilities through research, training, and external security competitions.
“I’ve spent my career building teams and systems that think like attackers,” said WonLae Lee, General Manager, South Korea, XBOW. “XBOW’s autonomous offensive security platform represents a significant step forward for the industry. I look forward to advancing XBOW’s vision across the region.”
Earlier in his career, Mr. Lee worked across Red, Blue, and Purple Team functions, including system auditing and CERT responsibilities, where he responded to security incidents, performed root-cause analysis, and helped define enterprise-wide security policies and controls. His background provides a rare end-to-end perspective on both attack and defense, grounded in real-world operational experience.
Mr. Lee joins an experienced, growing XBOW leadership team (https://xbow.com/news/xbow-appoints-former-snyk-and-veracode-leaders-bolstering-executive-team) that includes Dean Breda (https://www.linkedin.com/authwall?trk=bf&trkInfo=AQEbxHDuZKKBVwAAAZvkgqHIpzR83VJW7aXHQdhWfhzdVTixYsroxu_MfjtUdOUyGRlKND88WdiVNB56uSm0jvomO_n4ZKG4bBQ5UNRWG6oLImw7B8kQwhE9kOYjhA4cRWotC80=&original_referer=&sessionRedirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fdean-breda-84bb117%2F), General Counsel, and Jonaki Egenolf (https://www.linkedin.com/authwall?trk=bf&trkInfo=AQEoethQsVHIQQAAAZvkgqWwPfhBBkzYOj3OhX3Q-bmI9ue6luRiY_088Y4x4WFmj_kdrv6OGi3b1lCgD7EvQhuewHGtszcYG3-30ugrmQap1KfOS1ZbSdA0M87z1oOfPzot0Wo=&original_referer=&sessionRedirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fjonaki-egenolf-a70b60%2F), Chief Marketing Officer.
