• Leverage cross-team contacts and inter-organizational partnerships to communicate and coordinate analytical priorities

• Track DPRK-nexus financial operations, including cryptocurrency theft, money laundering tradecraft, and blockchain-based sanctions evasion activity, and assess implications for adversary capability development and operational tempo

• Develop and maintain technical infrastructure tracking for DPRK-nexus adversaries, including use of tools such as Censys, VirusTotal, DomainTools, and Netflow to identify, pivot on, and document adversary infrastructure
