George Rakitzis
Co-Founder & CTOGeorge owns the technology and product behind Mind The Hack. He pairs deep offensive-security expertise with platform engineering, translating real attack experience into the systems that validate exploitability and rank what to fix first. He keeps the research close to the code so the platform thinks the way an attacker does.

The disciplines the
platform is built on.
Behind the founders is a core team organised around the work, not the org chart. Five disciplines carry the platform from offensive research to the decisions our customers act on.
Ethical hackers who validate what attackers could actually exploit, not just what a scanner flags.
Researchers who study how breaches unfold and turn that knowledge into the platform's attack logic.
Platform engineers who build the systems that run validation, prioritization, and reporting at scale.
Product specialists who shape exposure data into decisions security and compliance teams can act on.
Operators who keep every engagement moving toward a clear, defensible outcome for the customer.

Offensive-security roots Research before product Engineering that ships
Built by people who
understand how attackers think.
The team behind Mind The Hack is not a commercial layer on top of someone else's scanner. It is the researchers and engineers who do the offensive work, study how breaches actually unfold, and build that knowledge directly into the platform. Technical depth is the product, not a talking point.
The platform is built by engineers who ran real engagements against real European infrastructure. That experience shapes every test and every recommendation.
Vulnerability research and attack-path analysis come first. The product exists to operationalise what our researchers already know about how breaches actually happen.
Senior platform engineers turn that research into a product teams run every day. Depth and delivery sit on the same team, not in separate silos.
