Performed threat research to identify product detection gaps that exist against the evolving threat landscape. Once identified, gaps were addressed by promoting development of behavioral analytics, curation of signature sets, and development of novel detection capabilities when needed. This research effort included the development, testing and operational deployment of new detection capabilities that directly impacted the product's efficacy. In addition to research, Daniel supported the cyber operations team by providing hunting support and thought leadership to junior level security analysts. Contributions to IronNet expanded outside the threat research team with positive integration with sales, marketing, and other teams.
