I can’t guarantee you will understand the vast security data, but I can promise you will often be the first human defender to ever look at a certain malicious code. You have the opportunity (duty?) to create global protections for that malware – for enterprises and home users alike. Quite a few times, you will do this before it causes any harm.
Curiosity & ingenuity as important as technical experience.
If we have worked together (#FLARE 👀 or otherwise), please DM for questions.

Watching the news unfold from Maui is devastating. It’s clear just how vital it is that first responders and relief organizations have the information and tools they need to act as quickly as possible.
I’m encouraged by the collaborative effort between our AI for Good Lab, @RedCross and @planet. Together, we created a preliminary assessment of the damage in Lahaina and we are committed to sharing this data and information with organizations supporting the response effort.
