Maico Molina Aoki

I’m a penetration testing consultant who helps global enterprise teams strengthen their security posture through hands-on testing, threat modeling, and vulnerability assessments. I focus on web applications, APIs, custom infrastructure, and non-standard environments, with outcomes that drive practical remediation.

From my work as a Pentesting Consultant (Immunity by Appgate, 2024–2026), I’ve supported compliance-driven reviews (e.g., SOC 2) and partnered closely with client security teams to prioritize fixes. I also developed and maintained internal tools to streamline testing, reporting, and automation workflows.

Previously, as an Incident Response Senior Analyst (Accenture Limited, 2022–2024), I conducted proactive threat hunting across servers, workstations, and employee devices to identify and mitigate advanced, undetected threats. I managed high-profile SOC Tier 3 (CIRT) incidents, including ransomware and targeted attacks, ensuring rapid and effective resolution.

I also bring a purple-team mindset—leading controlled scenarios to test network defenses and response capabilities, analyzing attack artifacts and refining detection rules. My background extends through a Cybersecurity Consultant role (BTR Consulting, 2022), where I performed SOC analysis, penetration testing, and digital forensic investigations, and authored actionable reports for both executives and technical teams.
