Who am I?

My name is Tony Roy, also known as cyco (short for cycoslave). I’ve been building, breaking, and securing systems since my early days in high school; when I used to write code on paper and spend nights debugging it line by line.

Today, I work across both offensive and defensive cybersecurity. I design and automate systems, investigate incidents, and identify vulnerabilities before they become real problems. My background in red and blue teaming gives me a practical edge: I understand how attacks actually happen and how to detect and stop them effectively.

I’ve helped organizations recover from security incidents, strengthen their defenses, and uncover critical weaknesses in their environments. My focus is simple; reduce risk, improve visibility, and make systems more resilient.

I work across both offensive and defensive cybersecurity, with experience in automation, incident response, and vulnerability identification. I enjoy digging into complex systems, whether that means automating workflows, analyzing threats, or breaking things to understand how they work.
