Miguel Zabala
Founder & CEO @Xpectra.ai · Offensive Security Engineer · OSCE³
Offensive security engineer with 11 years in the field. I have worked as a pentester and consultant in Colombia, Spain and Denmark, and today I do pentesting and red teaming at Aiuken Cybersecurity.
In 2024 I founded Xpectra.ai, where I lead a team of six AI agents supervised by experts: the depth of a pentest, at the speed of a scanner.
Aeronautics, OT, railway, banking, government and the private sector: environments where a test cannot take production down. I hold all six hands-on OffSec certifications, including OSCE³, plus CEHv9.
Nullsector is my lab. There I research how AI agents rebuild real exploits and build tools such as RGS, an honorable mention in NVIDIA's generative AI agents contest.
