About Lin Aung

I\'m a dedicated Security Engineer with over five years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, red teaming, and offensive security operations. My focus is on helping organizations identify real-world vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them, whether it\'s through external perimeter testing, internal network assessments, phishing campaigns, or cloud-based compromise simulations.Throughout my career, I\'ve had the opportunity to work across a wide range of environments and industries, aligning my testing with compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS and NIST.I hold certifications including OSCP, CRTO, PNPT, Pentest+, EJPT, and CEH, and I enjoy contributing to the community by mentoring and instructing others who are passionate about cybersecurity. Teaching has allowed me to stay sharp, share my experiences, and learn continuously from others in the field.Always looking for opportunities to challenge myself, I\'m especially interested in advanced adversary simulation, red team collaboration, and innovative ways to help teams build resilience against today’s evolving threats. Let’s connect.
