Big news on the work front! Today is my last day at @Secureworks, and I’d like to thank you for the opportunity to work with such fantastic people to make the world safer! My journey continues in January with #Microsoft as a Principal Identity Security Researcher. I’ll be working with @TimbMsft's team in the Security Research organization led by @JohnLaTwC. Before that, some time off and quality time with family 😊

Defense is a team sport & this couldn’t be more true in cyber security. I’m proud to have worked @Microsoft & @Mandiant that both helped out the people behind one of the most prolific Chinese APT groups of our time 🍺🍺Cheers to all the defenders who helped make today happen
