Summary
Stephanie Pirman is a penetration testing manager and purple team specialist based in Chicago with eight years of hands-on experience across threat simulation, detection engineering, and incident response. She has led offensive and defensive security work at Bank of America, served as a senior incident responder at Thirty Madison, and now manages penetration testing at McDonald’s, blending enterprise-scale threat emulation with pragmatic detection tuning. Proficient in Python and data-driven hunting, she translates adversary TTPs into durable detections and playbooks that reduce dwell time.

A self-described "critter of the night," she brings a curiosity-driven approach and an operator’s mentality to complex, production environments.
