Javier Parada
Cybersecurity Researcher & PhD Candidate. Cyber Threat Intelligence
Eurecat Technology Centre, Barcelona. NICS Lab, University of Málaga
My field is Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI): the discipline of collecting, analyzing and correlating data about adversaries, their tools and campaigns to turn raw signals into actionable knowledge that anticipates and counters threats.
Within CTI, I focus on adversary emulation and the imitation of APTs to reproduce real attacker behaviour and stress-test defenses, on attack attribution, and on CTI sharing systems that enable organizations to exchange intelligence at scale.
