Jakub Lipiec – penetration tester and trainer
Jakub Lipiec is a penetration tester with a particular interest in connected and embedded system security. His work covers IoT devices and automotive platforms. At Xperi, he currently conducts offensive product security testing. His work draws on hands-on experience in hardware hacking, including UART and JTAG, as well as reverse engineering.
Jakub continually develops his expertise through professional certifications and practical Red Team simulations. His credentials include ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity and the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. In his day-to-day work, he combines Python and Bash scripting with tools such as Burp Suite and Metasploit. This approach helps him identify vulnerabilities in areas that conventional testing may overlook.
