Mike Pearson

I'm a cybersecurity entrepreneur, penetration tester, and technologist with more than 30 years of experience building, breaking, and securing technology.

I co-founded SecureWorks and served as its CTO, where I helped develop security technologies that resulted in two U.S. patents. Today, I build and advise cybersecurity businesses focused on penetration testing, ransomware resilience, security validation, and practical applications of AI.

My current work increasingly explores the intersection of AI, autonomous agents, cybersecurity, OSINT, and large-scale automation.

On Apify, I build tools that turn noisy public and commercial data into useful answers. Rather than simply collecting more data, I'm particularly interested in correlation, prioritization, change detection, and automation that removes repetitive human analysis.

Current areas of interest

  • Cybersecurity and external attack-surface intelligence
  • OSINT and threat intelligence
  • AI-powered security automation
  • Autonomous agents and MCP
  • KYC/KYB and counterparty intelligence
  • Entity and change monitoring
  • Data correlation and enrichment
  • API-first automation

Philosophy

Collecting data is easy. Figuring out what matters is valuable.

I'm using Apify both to publish practical tools and to experiment with new automation products that can operate through the Store, APIs, and AI agents.
