Aaron was pulled into cyber security with the Stakkato Intrusions. This began a long pursuit advancing the state of the art detection and analysis. It started with open source tooling including Snort, Prelude, and Zeek, and night-school graduate studies at Carnegie Mellon University. Then evolved to planetary scale while researching at CERT.org.  

After responding to intrusions, creating detection criteria, and building detection systems and ranging from EDRs, TDRs, and CDRs at Secureworks, Anomali, and Palo Alto Networks; Aaron saw that the current approaches and systems were too slow, collecting more junk to add to the proverbial garbage heap of telemetry that overwhelms analysts with complexity and too many signals.
