“Exiger is a global leader in tech-enabled risk management and compliance solutions for government, corporates and banks – across our company, we share a mission to make the world a safer place to do business. What drives me to succeed in my role is the constant opportunity to solve tough problems our clients face. I really love researching, so I am lucky that I am able to use so many different intelligence sources, including the dark web. I love being able to identify threats, patterns, intelligence gaps, and bottlenecks that our team ultimately briefs to our clients. Knowing that my findings are used in decision-making by our country’s leadership is super exciting!”

“I believe there will be an increased focus on improving protections of U.S. infrastructure, especially regarding private sector data. The recent SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline hacks were a wakeup call, reminding us how our adversaries are becoming more sophisticated and can bypass strongly safeguarded targets.”

“In collaborating with experts across multiple areas of Exiger, a consistent theme that jumps out to me is that it is our employees’ skill sets that allow us to be so successful. We have folks with expertise ranging from data analysis, to computer science, to language translation—there’s a need for all types of specialties here. I would advise students not to worry much about their particular major, and think more broadly about the skill sets they can cultivate along the way that can be used to achieve counterintelligence goals.”
