The tech stack reveals a mature security research operation—assembly-level tools (IDA Pro, Ghidra, Frida), threat intelligence feeds (VirusTotal, Shodan, MITRE ATT&CK)—paired with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud Vertex AI) and a growing ML pipeline. Hiring is accelerating across engineering, sales, and security roles, while active projects focus on low-latency detection services and ML lifecycle management, suggesting a shift from static signatures toward continuous behavioral monitoring.
