Background

About Tim Herbin

Dynamic cybersecurity and intelligence professional with 29+ years of experience in threat analysis, electronic warfare, advanced intelligence operations, and Artificial Intelligence. As a retired Navy Chief, I have a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, mitigating complex threats, and delivering innovative solutions in high-stress environments. My career spans roles at HII, NSA/CSS, and the U.S. Navy, where I developed expertise in combating APTs, operationalizing cutting-edge cybersecurity frameworks, and crafting tactical intelligence strategies to safeguard national security. To illustrate my expertise: I once made my entire ship, the USS TYPHOON (PC-5), disappear from sensors. How? Ask me. Highlights of my career include: Advanced Threat Intelligence: Conducted structured analyses of APTs and disinformation campaigns, enhancing incident response fidelity and informing c-suite level decisions. Cybersecurity Innovation: Designed and operationalized Cyber Security CoPilot (C-SCOP), an on-prem AI agent that helps cyber analysts respond to sudden, unknown variables introduced into networks. This revolutionary agent is fine-tuned with global frameworks like MITRE ATT & CK, CVE, CVSS, and CAPEC databases to Red Team our vulnerability management and serves as a Blue Team AI colleague capable of in-depth responses. Thought Leadership and Research: Contributed to high-level research and whitepapers for specialized AI and cybersecurity working groups under strict information-sharing protocols, including co-authoring “Considerations Using AI Assistants in Meetings” (NDISAC). Mission First: Directed high-risk operations, including 94 vessel boardings in the Persian Gulf, delivering real-time intelligence and mitigating risks with precision. This includes a high-risk, 13-hour non-compliant vessel boarding search and seizure operation sweeping for explosives aboard a foreign-flagged vessel with over 250 innocent, panicked souls. AI Ethics and Safety Advocate: AI technology is humankind's future- I'm passionate about countering adversarial threats while ensuring ethical and responsible AI deployment for the world. I thrive at the intersection of intelligence operations, cybersecurity, and creativity, bringing an innovative focused approach to safeguarding systems and organizations. Open to opportunities that leverage my expertise in AI abuse mitigation, cybersecurity strategy, and adversarial analysis.
