Summary
Matteo Basso is an IT Security Engineer based in Lugano with eight years of hands-on experience evolving from senior Linux/Unix system administration into penetration testing and cybersecurity engineering. He has managed and secured complex infrastructures across finance, telecom and research environments, including Azure cloud deployments, VMware estates, storage stacks and enterprise firewalls. Comfortable with both 3rd-line support and security tooling, he has implemented monitoring, automation and vulnerability management solutions (Splunk, Zabbix, Ansible, OpenVAS) and driven patching and hardening at scale. An avid practitioner of offensive security labs like Hack The Box and TryHackMe, he combines curiosity-driven testing with pragmatic operational instincts—he still values the veteran Unix admin lesson that rebooting is rarely the first option. Outside work he collects vinyl records, a hint at his patient, detail-oriented approach to problem solving.
