Bio
Computer systems engineer in the Cyber Security Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, United States Department of Energy and Founder of GirlsCanHack, an organization dedicated to engage women in the field of cybersecurity and encouraging them to pursue this career. I studied computer science in Spain where I was a software developer for 8+ years before I moved to The United States and began working with the Cybersecurity group at the Berkeley Lab. My area of expertise is penetration testing using enterprise tools like Burp, Netsparker, IBM appscan, SQLmap and Metasploit, among others, and also script and prototype my own scan tools using programming languages like python. Web scanning annual audits are my biggest projects on this subject: looking for vulnerabilities on around more than ten thousand web servers at LBNL, confirming, prioritizing and helping resolve them. I also perform threat awareness, proactive network traffic analysis, incident response, forensic analysis, and resolution of security incidents as well as promoting a strong security culture through technical security consulting throughout the Lab. The Cyber Security team guards the Lab against computer break ins. I also was named to the Top 20 Most Influential Latinos in Technology for 2016 list by CNET
