Victor Lima Dantas
@victorlimadantas
I secure AWS and GCP environments through offensive testing, detection engineering, and practical cloud controls.
What I'm looking for
I've secured large-scale AWS environments at Accenture for a global cloud client, assessing application, API, and infrastructure layers to uncover critical vulnerabilities, IAM privilege-escalation paths, and lateral-movement risks.
At Dito CRM, I built and operated a fully open-source SOC using Wazuh, TheHive, Cortex, and MISP. I developed MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detections, automated response workflows with Python, and containerized SOC infrastructure on GKE for resilience and scale.
My background spans Red, Blue, and Purple Team operations, from OWASP WSTG web and API pentesting to adversary simulations, incident response, secure code reviews, and cloud configuration analysis.
I focus on real-world attack paths and practical risk reduction, partnering with AppSec and DevSecOps teams to turn security findings into scalable controls and clear remediation guidance.
