About Uday Mittal

A well-rounded cybersecurity professional and one of the lucky few to start out in cybersecurity from day 0.I began my journey in cybersecurity because of Kevin Mitnick. His books, the Art of Intrusion and the Art of Deception, were my first insights into this world. What started out as a teenage affair, continued well into my adulthood and is still going on strong. My experience cuts across various domains, including offensive security, third-party risk management, application security, threat modelling, security audits and assessment and incident response. My leadership experience includes, hiring, managing and mentoring team members. I have worked in some of the highly regulated and high-risk industries (telecom and finance). I have also provided information security consultancy to private and government organizations. I love to do hands-on technical work and has developed various tools, both open-source and proprietary. In the backdrop, the pursuit of offensive cybersecurity tactics, techniques and procedures has been (is and will always be) my biggest motivation throughout my career. I prefer to be in the trenches, so to speak. My experience and my passion for cybersecurity have given me a unique blend of skills to be an all rounder and also thoroughly technical, when required. I love to speak and write about red teaming, exploit development and offensive security operations in general.
