Summary
Alan Lacerda is a Cyber Security Supervisor with 13 years of hands-on experience in offensive security, red teaming, and network/OS exploitation, currently based in Old Toronto. He designs and leads ransomware simulation toolkits, custom C2 frameworks and risk assessment platforms, blending Golang development with practical adversary emulation to stress-test enterprise defenses. Alan has driven offensive R&D and solution architecture at firms like Calian and IntruderLabs and has translated that work into training courses and published tooling for peers. He pairs deep systems-level knowledge of Windows and Linux internals with cloud and network expertise, enabling realistic, repeatable simulations from initial compromise to persistence and exfiltration. Beyond consulting, he contributes to the open-source ecosystem (Alpine packages) and creates learning content—an unusual combination of builder, instructor, and practitioner that accelerates organizational security maturity.
