Could you briefly describe how and when you became interested in cybersecurity/forensics analysis?

I became interested in cybersecurity and forensics issues when I was a student and working as a trainee at the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. I was developing an Access Database for storing the teachers' exam questions. My computer was Windows 95 and had a problem loading modules and the system was inaccessible. So, my question at that moment: What is going on here? What crashed my system? Where is my database?

What aspect of your work currently thrills you the most?

Discovering an artifact's behavior and finding the strategies for blocking the enemies.

From where do you learn the latest news about the digital forensics sector?

I follow several channels: Palo Alto Unit 42, Microsoft Learn (especially the Debug videos from old Channel 9), Malware Traffic Analysis, RSA News, SANS Posts.

You are a consultant at work, too. Where do you start when a particular organization hires you?

I always start with the human factor and go to network breach analysis.

Can you tell....
