Lorenzo Nicolodi is a security researcher and founder of Microlab.red, a company dedicated exclusively to high-end offensive security. Fascinated by information security from an early age, Lorenzo has spent over a decade investigating complex systems, embedded devices, IoT platforms, and industrial control infrastructures.

He believes in a hands-on, do-it-yourself approach to cybersecurity. Drawn to complex, “this-can’t-be-done” challenges, he tackles problems through rapid experimentation, learning from failure, and constant iteration—without taking himself too seriously.

Once he cracks a solution, Lorenzo shares his insights openly to help others move faster and avoid the same pitfalls, before diving headfirst into the next challenge. Beyond the technical work, he is deeply committed to growing the cybersecurity community by bringing in curious, humble, and persistent minds—helping close the skills gap and pushing back against gatekeeping in the field.
