Alex's passion for cybersecurity is humbly rooted in the early aughts, when she declared a vendetta against a computer worm. Over the past decade, Alex has worked with blue, purple, and red teams serving companies in the technology, financial, pharmaceuticals, and telecom sectors and she has shared research with several ISACs. Alex enjoys researching the intersection of cybercrime and state-sponsored activity. She relentlessly questions why actors pivot to a new technique or attack surface. In her spare time, she can be found DJing or servicing her music arcade games.
