Louai Abboud

Louai started his career hunting cybercriminals as Threat Hunter at Bell Canada before transitioning into his current role as an Adversarial Collaboration Engineer at Lares. He specializes in purple teaming, detection engineering, threat hunting, and incident response. An avid programmer, Louai loves to automate everything at work (much to the merriment and jubilation of his teammates) and in life (as proof, he uses an electric toothbrush).

Louai also loves solving problems with data and common sense and is a big Jupyter ecosystem enthusiast. Finally, Louai believes in giving back to the cybersecurity community by contributing to meetups and events such as ISSessions, C3X, and SecTor. Outside of work, Louai loves to dance, travel, listen to music, write poetry, play poker, and hang out with his outrageously beautiful but undeniably annoying friends whom he loves very, very much.
