OK so this is my last week at @Mandiant / @FireEye 😢
Here's the truth:
♥️ Joining Mandiant was the best decision of my career – the people & company have been SO good to me
🧠 Many of the brilliant minds in security are here & we have FUN every day

🇷🇺 #APT29 🤯 #NoEasyBreach
🇻🇳 The IR that graduated #APT32 to the big stage: fireeye.com/blog/threat-re…

A few years ago, I jumped at the chance to build out the #AdvancedPractices 🦅 front-line research team [follow many of them @ twitter.com/i/lists/104134…] and work alongside to FLARE's reverse engineers 🧙🏽♂️. The teams are brimming with talent, hard-work, & creative solutions.

The goodbyes have been brutal. I'll miss the people immensely. But like, let's be honest, we are all still going to hang out on this free website Twitter dot com.
I'm super excited for what's next – and I hope the bad guys like their hiding spots because here I come! ➡️☁️😉

I'm going to take a few weeks "off" to spend time with my wife, COVID-19-homeschool my kids, pace anxiously around my home quarantine, get in better shape, & try to learn piano. By the end of the month, you can find me here:
