About

I am a Behavioral Profiler who specializes in understanding cyber adversaries and the “why” behind their cyberattacks.



For over 20 years as an FBI Special Agent (the last 11 years of which as a Behavioral Profiler in the Behavioral Analysis Unit), an information security author, a former prosecutor, and now a Cyber Behavioral Profiler for Modus Cyberandi, it’s been my life work and passion to better understand cyber adversary motivations, intentions, emotions and decision making processes.



I’m proud to have helped create and establish the FBI BAU’s capability to behaviorally assess cyber adversaries, the Cyber Behavioral Analysis Center (CBAC), and its capability to analyze (and counter) deception, influence and information operations, the Deception & Influence Group (DIG). I’m equally proud and excited to continue and elevate these important capabilities through the unique work at Modus Cyberandi, bringing Cyber Behavioral Profiling from out of the shadows to help defend your organization.



As an author, I write books that explore both the “digital weapons” and “psychological weapons” adversaries use in their attacks: Deception in the Digital Age: Exploiting and Defending Human Targets Through Computer Mediated Communications; the Malware Forensics book series, and the forthcoming 2024 book, Synthetic Media, Deepfakes and Cyber Deception: Attacks, Analysis, & Defenses.
