Yianna Paris

I’m an Offensive & Application Security specialist who loves to build things and find creative ways to break them. When I’m not developing attacks, I’m teaching how to protect against people like me. I bring red team curiosity into a collaborative approach by redefining purple by highlighting the value in perspectives beyond what we find traditionally red and blue. I’ve had a diverse background in technology - software engineering, computer science, teaching, designing, and co-founder of a business and I’ve always been interested in the human aspect of technology. Discovering how to improve security processes, tackling complex problems, and introducing secure software development practices. I love going detailed and technical, diving deep into problems when I’m doing vulnerability research, threat assessments, breaking video games, and even woodworking! I’m determined to uplift people with diverse perspectives in Security, while learning from everyone I meet.
