About

An accomplished cybersecurity researcher and a leader in the threat intelligence space, with a background of tracking some of the most interesting and unique threat actors globally. My dedication lies in driving cutting-edge cyber threat intelligence and research, collaborating with top-tier analysts and organizations worldwide.

As the Distinguished Threat Researcher and Research Lead for SentinelLabs, I spearhead investigations into the most sophisticated nation-state and criminal threat actors, uncovering operations from adversaries across Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, India, and beyond. My work has led to the discovery of new mercenary groups, emerging geopolitical cyber campaigns, and critical insights into global conflicts.

I have presented extensive research and analytical insights at leading industry conferences like BlackHat USA, CYBERWARCON, LABScon, FTScon, DerbyCon, Hague Threat Intelligence Exchange (Hague TIX), and various exclusive private events. My research has garnered recognition in top-tier media outlets, including Reuters, WIRED, NPR, Wall Street Journal, Politico, Forbes, CNN, The Washington Post, and countless other industry-specific publications.
