Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFurkan Ayar is a Red Team Manager with nearly a decade of hands-on cybersecurity experience spanning offensive development, incident response, and large-scale penetration testing. He has spent the last five years focused on advanced offensive techniques—malware development, evasion and automated red teaming—while leading assessments that stress network, OS and Active Directory defenses. His background includes deep reverse engineering and threat hunting from roles in financial and national-scale projects, and he brings practical EDR/forensics expertise from incident response at Garanti BBVA Teknoloji. At Picus Security he progressed from engineer to manager, driving red team strategy and offensive tooling development. An early systems researcher who contributed kernel-level work during a Barcelona Supercomputing Center internship, he also experiments with weaponizing Nim on GitHub, showing a rare blend of low-level systems knowledge and operational red team craft. Based in Oregon with roots in Turkey, he pairs academic rigor with pragmatic attack simulations to harden real-world environments.
