I'm Santi.
Security engineer, builder, and writer. Based in Buenos Aires. SOCHUB is where I share what I learn — openly and without a vendor agenda.
Santi Friquet
Before starting SOCHUB, I managed security programs at an enterprise firm in Argentina and worked across multiple startups at different growth stages — seed-stage teams building their first controls, Series A companies hardening cloud infrastructure, and everything in between. That range shapes how I think: I understand the structured rigor that regulated environments demand and the speed that startups actually operate at.
My technical focus is cloud detection and response, incident simulation, and AI/ML security. These are the areas where the threat landscape is moving fastest and where most programs are still weakest. I build tools to fill those gaps — like SIRAS, an open-source framework for simulating incidents and stress-testing detection before a real attack does it for you.
I started SOCHUB because I wanted a place to share what I actually learn — the practical stuff that doesn't make it into vendor whitepapers or conference slide decks. No pitch, no agenda. Just the work.
Areas of Focus
Knowledge should be shared, not sold.
There's no shortage of security vendors, consultants, and whitepapers. What's actually rare is someone sharing the practical, unglamorous stuff — the detection rules that took three iterations to get right, the IR simulation that exposed a blind spot, the AI security mistake you'd rather not admit you made.
Practical Over Theoretical
Everything I write comes from something I built, broke, or learned the hard way. If it hasn't been tested in a real environment, I don't write about it as if it has.
Open by Default
Articles, methodology, and tools are all public. No paywalls, no lead magnets, no gated PDFs. If it's useful, it's out there.
Community Over Audience
I'm not here to broadcast. I'm here to learn in public, share what I find, and connect with people who care about building security that actually works.
Let's Talk
Questions about something I wrote, a security challenge you're thinking through, or just want to connect — reach out directly. I also take on advisory and consulting work selectively.
