I travel the world, meet researchers, go to conferences, and build things that bring the security community closer together. Genuinely. Not as a job description — as something I actually love doing.

People in cybersecurity are something special. Curious, honest and generous with knowledge. I feel lucky to call many of them friends. If we haven’t met yet — let’s fix that. Come to one of our events or just drop me a message.

Open research and free tools

PT SWARM Red Team

Our offensive security team. Real pentests, real 0-days, real CVEs — shared openly on the blog. They breach 90% of client perimeters and then write exactly how. Good reading.

Threat intelligence and APT research. Tracking adversaries, mapping malware campaigns, publishing intel that's actually actionable. Known and respected in the global threat intel community.

PT ESC Blue Team / Threat Intel

The best things happen when people share a room. We make sure that happens — in Russia and around the world, all year.

Where we meet in person

Free cybersecurity meetups around the world. Real researchers talking about what they’ve built, broken, and learned. No marketing, no nonsense. Brutally honest — just the way it should be.

Coming Soon

What we’re building next

One platform for the entire community

A unified space where researchers can find tools, resources, connections, and each other — all in one place. Built around people, not products.

A public, partially open-source CTF platform we’re building for the community. Run your own events, compete, contribute. Lowering the barrier for everyone who loves CTF.

A physical space for the community to meet, work, and connect. Private gatherings, smaller events, a place to be together. Details coming soon.

PT Space

This isn't about a platform. It's about people who share knowledge, trust each other, and show up.

We know researchers, teams, and communities in dozens of countries. We go to the same events, read each other’s work, and help each other out. Being part of this means you’re part of that — a network of people who are genuinely good at what they do and genuinely willing to help.

Together we're stronger

The security community is better when it's connected
