// About the Team
BUILT BY
OPERATORS.
VULNHAT (Pvt) Ltd is a Sri Lankan cybersecurity firm founded by a team of young, sharp security specialists committed to raising the standard of enterprise security across the region.
VULNHAT (Pvt) Ltd was founded in 2025 in Colombo, Sri Lanka by Lakshitha Perera — a security specialist with deep expertise in offensive and defensive operations, active directory attacks, and cloud offensive security. At 21, Lakshitha built VULNHAT to bridge the gap between theoretical compliance and genuine adversarial resilience.
The company operates at the intersection of offensive expertise and strategic intelligence. Our leadership team combines hands-on attack capability with defensive architecture knowledge — giving clients a complete picture of their exposure and a clear path to remediation.
We serve organisations where a single breach would have irreversible consequences. Every engagement begins with a frank assessment of risk — we do not sell reassurance. We deliver intelligence, capability, and honest counsel under uncertainty.

Core Principles
// 04 PRINCIPLESRigor Over Convention
Every engagement is crafted to the specific threat model and risk tolerance of each client. We do not apply templates — we apply expertise.
Discretion by Default
All engagements are conducted under strict confidentiality protocols. We do not publish case studies or disclose client identities.
Outcome Accountability
We measure value by the tangible reduction in your attack surface and the quality of decisions our intelligence enables.
Adversarial Thinking
We think like attackers because most of us were — or studied them closely enough to know how they operate.
