@adammartin
Analytical threat analyst with expertise in malware analysis and security.
What I'm looking for
I am an analytical and results-focused professional with a deep understanding of risk management frameworks and the latest network security software. My proficiency in reverse engineering malware, along with strong malware analysis skills, allows me to anticipate security threats effectively. I have a proven track record in developing enterprise storage systems and conducting advanced static and dynamic analysis of file samples, complemented by my familiarity with RAID groups, volume shares, and iSCSI.
Currently, I serve as a Senior Threat Analyst at Cofense, where I leverage my skills in threat mitigation and investigation. I have been recognized for my ability to create effective rules for monitoring active threats and have led malware investigations across the EMEA region. My previous roles at Cylance Inc. further honed my technical expertise, where I contributed to the development of Yara rules and conducted in-depth analyses of malicious files. I thrive in collaborative environments and excel at communicating complex technical information to non-technical audiences.
