Background

About Rob Cusack

As an Online Safety Policy Analyst at Ofcom, I support the development and implementation of policies and regulations that protect users and promote a safe and secure online environment. I have more than six years of experience in producing in-depth research reports on various topics, such as financial and people intelligence, high-impact events, and emerging threats, using a range of open source datasets, including social media, dark web, court records, and risk databases. I have strong content design and user experience writing skills, which I leverage to communicate complex and sensitive information to diverse audiences. I can work professionally in Arabic and Persian, which enables me to access and translate sources from the MENA region, and to provide insight into the information flows and behaviours of opaque entities, such as extremist organisations. I am passionate about driving innovative business development programs and increasing report production through automation, and I hold several certifications in investigative journalism, terrorism studies, and professional investigations.
