Threat Research, Detection Engineering, and Product Defense

International conference talks, trainings, and invited sessions

Mars Cheng

This track represents the work I care most about operationally: turning emerging threat research into something defenders and product teams can actually use.

Representative themes:

  • malware analysis and adversary tradecraft
  • threat intelligence and hunting
  • building and scaling detection capabilities
  • PSIRT, product security response, and product hardening
  • converting research into practical tools, processes, and training

Common venues for this work include:

  • Black Hat, RSA Conference, CODE BLUE, FIRST, and DEF CON Village
  • HITCON, CYBERSEC, NOHAT, Troopers, and ROOTCON
  • invited enterprise sessions related to product security, research, and operational defense

This track most clearly reflects the continuity between my earlier research work and my current responsibilities at TXOne: malware analysis, detection logic, threat intelligence, and the translation of research into product defense and incident response.
