About me
Adrian Găitan is a cybersecurity engineer, researcher and the Founder & CEO of Evaluris Solutions, working at the intersection of offensive security, artificial intelligence, and emerging post-quantum security research.
His background is rooted in penetration testing, adversarial modeling, red team operations, and advanced threat simulation. Adrian has extensive hands-on experience assessing enterprise environments, web applications, cloud infrastructures, and distributed systems, using methodologies and techniques applied by professional security teams worldwide.
Through Evaluris Solutions, Adrian develops practical cybersecurity training focused on real-world attack techniques and defensive strategies. His courses emphasize hands-on learning, real attack simulations, and the tools and methodologies used by professional penetration testers, red team operators, and security engineers.
Beyond traditional cybersecurity domains, his work increasingly focuses on adversarial AI security, quantum-ready security architectures, and post-quantum cryptographic transition strategies. He studies the long-term resilience of digital infrastructure against emerging threat models including autonomous AI-driven adversaries and next-generation cryptographic risks.
Adrian also works with blockchain-secured digital infrastructure and cryptographically verifiable distributed systems, focusing on the secure representation of digital assets, data integrity, and decentralized trust architectures.
He collaborates with organizations and partners across the United States, UAE, Canada, and Europe on initiatives requiring deep technical validation, offensive security expertise, and resilient system design.
