Summary
Saeid Atabaki is a cybersecurity founder and operator with nine years of hands-on red-team and leadership experience, now building ManticoreAI to automate adversary tradecraft into rapid, developer-friendly penetration testing. He has modernized red teams for large enterprises and banks, built custom adversarial simulation tools in-house, and cut security sign-off cycles from months to days by turning complex exploit workflows into reproducible retests. Previously a director and practice lead at Trustwave and a CREST advisory board member, he blends executive strategy, budget stewardship, and practical offensive engineering. Saeid pairs an MBA with deep technical pedigree—experience writing Java/C# simulation tools, reverse engineering evasive malware, and researching IPS/WAF bypasses—while staying visible in the community as a speaker and author. An adventurous mind who also paraglides and dives, he uniquely frames security problems through both operator intuition and product-first thinking.
