Research Interests

My research interests include hunting Memory (RAM) for Cyber Threat Actors to speed up Enterprise Incident Response. The goal of the research is to quickly scan thousands of end points and servers to detect unauthorized activity via behavioral profile of the cyber criminals and provide a timely response to minimize the leak of critical data.
