South African cybersecurity researcher & speaker

Veer Gosai

Real incidents. Clear stories. Better questions.

I turn first-hand investigations into talks that make cyber risk human: fraud in public systems, broken identity checks, threat intelligence and what responsible disclosure looks like in the real world.

I speak from work I have actually done

I’m Veer Gosai, a South African cybersecurity researcher and speaker. My work has helped expose identity misuse and large-scale fraud in the SASSA SRD grant system, failures in RICA identity verification, and vulnerabilities disclosed responsibly to companies and government departments.

Those investigations sit at the centre of my talks. I unpack how an issue was found, why the surrounding system failed, who carried the risk and what security teams, developers and leaders can learn from it—without turning people’s harm into theatre.

If your audience wants a grounded story about fraud, identity, threat intelligence or responsible disclosure, reach out. I shape each session for technical teams, leadership audiences, students or the wider public.

The work behind the talks

Evidence first. Story second.

The best cyber stories are not invented. They are discovered carefully, tested against evidence and told in a way that helps an audience see the system—not only the breach.

SASSA SRD grant fraud Identity misuse and systemic weaknesses affecting social-grant applicants. RICA verification failures SIM and eSIM activation paths that exposed the cost of weak compliance. Responsible disclosures Security findings reported to private companies and public institutions.
