During his time at Bishop Fox, he has led and managed projects for a range of multinational, Fortune 500 corporations to identify and map out their attack surfaces, so they can better defend themselves against malicious threat actors. Additionally, Sergio has an extensive background in open-source research and development, compliance, and incident response.

His current research focuses on how companies can use their current offensive security testing tools to proactively seek out threats in malicious infrastructure in the wild before attackers strike. In recognition of his research and work in the field, he was invited to the Summit of the Americas in 2017 as part of the LATAM cybersecurity team to monitor threats during the event.
