Principal Security Consultant - Manager at WatchDog Security
Old Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Summary
👤
SeniorDominik Penner is a Principal Security Consultant and manager with roughly a decade of hands-on experience in application and infrastructure security, leading complex penetration tests for web, cloud, and desktop environments. He has guided teams and pre-sales efforts at firms like NCC Group and Mand Consulting Group, and co-founded Hackers for Change where his research contributed to multiple CVEs and built advisory processes adopted by larger consultancies. His work spans ISPs, electronic medical records vendors, and open-source projects, including discovery of critical vulnerabilities in widely deployed software (e.g., EA Origin and open-source EMR). Based in Toronto, he blends technical research with people leadership—mentoring recruiters and reports, running scoping for hundreds of engagements, and helping colleagues move into larger roles. Less obvious: he pairs offensive research with solutions architecture responsibilities, bridging deep technical findings to practical remediation and client-facing delivery.
