Hello, this is Steven Pereira, but most in cybersecurity refer to me as Cursed. I am from India and very much love doing Red Teaming. Presently, I work at Protiviti India Member Firm as a Senior Cybersecurity Consultant. Day to day, I do several cybersecurity-related tasks; examples include Network Reviews, web application security testing, Penetration Testing, and red teaming. I provide the implementation of security controls, audits of cloud security, and integrated information security audits.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing and contributing to various cybersecurity blogs. With my proficiency in Python development, I develop offensive cybersecurity scripts that are an integral piece for any penetration tester or red teamer. I am working on a cybersecurity book that will help and mentor junior penetration testers through some of the obstacles they might have in their early years.
When not trying to encourage cybersecurity, he can be found playing badminton, strumming his ukulele, or spending quality time with his cat and rabbits. Feel free to connect with me here on GitHub about what I am working on, and please reach out if you have any questions or would like to talk about anything in general!
