Background

About Kevin Oconnor

Turning elite cybersecurity expertise into enterprise-grade defense strategies. Over 8 years in Intelligence Community and Department of Defense cyber operations on both the defensive and offensive side taught me how nation-state adversaries think, operate, and evolve. Time spent with leading private industry threat research teams showed me how to translate that intelligence into commercial security solutions that actually work. Now at Adlumin, I'm building security operations that anticipate tomorrow's threats using lessons learned from today's most sophisticated adversaries. What I bring to the table: • Offensive Cyber Operations - Understanding attacker methodologies from the inside out • Defensive Security Engineering - Building resilient systems that withstand real-world attacks • Threat Intelligence & Malware Analysis - Research that drives actionable defense strategies • Secure Computing - Next-generation protection in an increasingly connected and data-driven world. My unique advantage is I operate fluently in both worlds - deep enough technically to analyze advanced persistent threats alongside our researchers along with kernel level exploits, and experienced enough strategically to walk into C-suite and translate those findings into business risk, investment priorities, and operational decisions. I'm passionate about solving problems that keep other security professionals up at night, while building and leading cross-functional teams that turn complex technical challenges into competitive business advantages. Whether you're dealing with advanced persistent threats, building security programs, or communicating cyber risk to non-technical stakeholders, let's connect.
