Senior🎓
Top SchoolSerena Ferracci is a Security Engineer with a PhD in Cyber Security and nine years of experience building defenses across Linux, IoT, and embedded systems. She blends academic research—developing kernel-space, hardware-assisted detection using PMCs and Intel PT—with hands-on engineering at companies like Leonardo, Hermes Bay, and SUSE. Serena has led heterogeneous system monitoring projects and designed real-time attack detection that prioritizes performance and low-level visibility. Comfortable working both in user and kernel space, she translates instruction-level analysis into practical, deployable security solutions. Based in Rome, she pairs rigorous research methodology with customer-facing delivery experience, often surfacing non-obvious system weaknesses via deep instrumentation. Her background suggests a strong aptitude for bridging cutting-edge research and operational security at scale.
