I have spent the last three years asking questions about the role of generative AI in the field of offensive cybersecurity. Currently, I’m a PhD Student at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, where I’m researching how Agentic AI can empower security frameworks to stay one step ahead of complex digital threats.
