Nicholas is a threat intelligence researcher who spends far too much time ingesting things from the open and dark web than can possibly be healthy. He's been in IT and cybersecurity for over a decade. During that time, he's served as everything from help desk to a state government CISO handling election security projects. He regularly teaches boot-camps trying to help draw more people into the industry. In the past couple years, he's been working closely with SOC analysts and reverse engineers working to pull apart recently detected threats with relatively little-known indicators and has taken a large interest in looping these workflows into threat intelligence.
