Vincent Cox is a Detection Engineer and ethical hacker with 11 years of hands-on experience building red team capabilities, secure development practices, and automated detections for banks, government bodies and international firms. He blends offensive expertise—Synack Red Team member, prolific bug hunter with findings at KBC and Brussels Airlines—and tooling craftsmanship, having authored notable open-source projects like StaCoAn and a DNS-history firewall bypass script. Vincent has repeatedly translated attack techniques into pragmatic SOC improvements through purple teaming and detection engineering, and he pairs that with startup experience as the founder of a QR-based product emphasizing secure, scalable design. Certified (OSCP, AWAE) and ranked top-10 on Intigriti for a period, he brings an unusual mix of offensive creativity and developer discipline, informed also by four years of “hacking biology” that reflect a systems-thinking mindset.
