What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in penetration testing and security research to improve organizational security.

I'm Emaad Abbasi, a seasoned penetration tester with experience in conducting comprehensive black-box penetration tests and performing detailed vulnerability assessments. I've developed a keen eye for identifying vulnerabilities and improving security systems by working on several national-level audits and penetration testing engagements.

As a research associate at the National Cybersecurity Auditing and Security Evaluation Lab (NCSAEL), I've worked on various projects, including IT compliance audits and network and web application penetration testing. My expertise also extends to designing checklists for audits and collaborating with the GRC team to assess the security posture of client organizations.

As a keynote speaker, I've had the privilege of sharing my knowledge with others, including delivering a keynote lecture at the Slovenian Ethical Hacking Conference 2024. I'm passionate about educating others on the importance of operational security and ethical hacking.
