Nirmal Dahal, also known as TheNittam or #Nittam. I've been in the cybersecurity industry for a long time and have helped secure over 50+ enterprises against cyber threats. With the goal of securing cyberspace, I co-founded CryptoGen Nepal with other like-minded individuals, which is a Nepal-based cybersecurity firm that has also won the ICT Startup Award. I am the leader of Nepal's largest community of ethical hackers, "Pentester Nepal" and the Nepal Chapter Leader for OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project). We organize cyber security events, raise awareness, share knowledge, and train people about cyber security and potential cyber threats. In April 2021, I was listed on the EC-Council's "Global Ethical Hacking Leaderboard" among the top 10 ethical hackers in the world for the month of April 2021, Quarter 2. Due to my activities and expertise in the cyber security field, I've been featured in magazines and national newspapers.
