Summary
Louai Abboud is a senior adversarial collaboration engineer with seven years of hands-on experience helping medium-to-large enterprises strengthen detection and prevention through Purple Teaming, red/blue competitions, and automation. At Lares he builds tooling that streamlines purple team workflows—from obfuscation and compilation pipelines to automated report generation and a custom C2 redirector—while conducting AD, Azure/M365, ransomware simulation, and compromise assessments. A former ISSessions president and co-architect of the C3X competition, he pairs technical depth in detection engineering and threat hunting with a passion for community-driven education. His background in business (Ivey HBA) and top-tier infosec academics (Sheridan, 3.98 GPA) fuels a pragmatic, automation-first approach that consistently reduces toil and false positives. Outside of work he channels curiosity into side projects and competitive activities, and prioritizes lasting relationships with family and community.
