Key tasks include:

o       Provide research and analytical support on information security trends, standards, concepts and solutions.

o       Provides network engineering solutions of state-of-the-art technologies by conducting reverse engineering of new vulnerabilities and malicious code in order to build counter attack signatures against known and unknown threats.

o       Perform in-depth forensic analysis of compromised systems to include identification of malicious code, methods of compromise and data extraction techniques.

o       Tracks trends and performs network nodal analysis on infrastructure to determine security gaps and network configuration deficiencies.

o       Research various open source hacker techniques and vulnerability exploit forums.

o       Provide consolidated executive summaries and detailed analysis technical briefings

Education and Experience:
