  • Research and analyze threat actor activities on the Internet using Black Lotus Labs data holdings to develop analytical models to aid in the detection of malicious or anomalous events found in large data sets.
  • Develop data analytics that drive cluster efficiencies and scale our capability when tracking malicious cyber actors (MCAs).
  • Develop and implement automated workflows to identify and analyze trends found within our data holdings.
