Hitesh Picture

I have a Master of Science in Information Security and Assurance from George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia and a Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Science from KLS Gogte Insitute of Technology, Belgaum

During the course of my academics I had the great fortune of being advised by Dr. Damon McCoy. My interests lie in the intersection of Computer Security, Economics of Cyber crime and Machine Learning. I am also a part of the Center for Evidence-based Security Research (CESR)

Since January 2015, I have founded and run Informant Networks. A company that focuses on solving problems in Network Security particularly against insider theft.

I previously was a Security Researcher at FireEye where I mainly researched new threats and did reverse engineering to improve malware detection. Prior to that I worked at The International Computer Science Institute where I was working on the monetization of bitcoin mining malware and web search order hijacking

I love the world of FOSS and have been involved with FOSSTR. , FOSS Matters and Science Hack Day India 2016/2017. In my spare time I fiddle with things which are available here

If you are feeling extra generous, I have a wish list on Amazon that you can pick from
