Our Vision
Only those who are prepared stand a chance against real attacks.
We believe that understanding an adversary's perspective is key to building robust defenses. That is why we focus on realistic threat simulations that mirror the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by real-world attackers.
Offensive Security is not just about finding vulnerabilities. Understanding how attackers think and operate is an important part of securing your assets. Cyber Resilience is about preparing for the worst-case scenarios and ensuring that your defense strategies are robust enough to withstand real-world attacks.
For this reason, we founded SecCore: To provide high-quality, realistic threat simulations and trainings that help you build an effective security posture.
Based in Tyrol & Styria, Austria
At the core of Europe.
Cyber security is a global challenge. It knows no national borders or language barriers. We offer our services in the European Economic Area, with a regional focus in Tyrol and Styria, Austria.

My fascination about complex systems began early on - with hacking computer games. While studying computer science at the University of Innsbruck, I discovered the Austrian Cyber Security Challenge, a capture-the-flag competition that promotes IT security talents in Austria.
My successful participation in this competition opened my way into professional IT security at the end of 2017. Since then, I have been pursuing my passion as a penetration tester. I have specialized in the field of red teaming and attack simulations through numerous further education and training courses - a field that continues to fascinate me.
I am currently deepening my knowledge in the areas of internal infrastructures and malware development. This enables me not only to increase the precision of our penetration tests, but also to implement techniques such as lateral movement, local privilege escalation and full domain compromise in red team engagements even more effectively.

I have been passionate about ethical hacking and cyber security for as long as I can remember.
I currently have more than eight years of experience in Red Teaming and Penetration Testing and am winner of multiple Austrian (and European) Cyber Security Challenge CTFs.
While I was still studying computer science at Graz University of Technology, I dedicated myself to Penetration Testing and have been working in this industry continuously since summer 2017.
I am proud to also be part of the Pentesting 101 Master's lecture at the ISEC Institute at TU Graz.
My current focus lies on cloud environments and infrastructure, improving Red Team engagements by leveraging cloud-native technologies and tools for initial access, lateral movement and data exfiltration.
