Recap
How it went
Soufian presented an ongoing investigation
A threat actor we are still tracking, presented as live research rather than a closed case. The questions afterwards were as useful to us as the session itself. The full write-up follows.
Karen, Vincent and Soufian were there across the four days
Time with partners and customers, and first conversations with researchers about where collaboration makes sense. Most started from a specific hunting problem, which is usually where the useful work begins.
A great community of like-minded people
UE runs on trust between people who mostly cannot discuss their work in public. That is what makes the corridor conversations worth as much as the programme, and why new faces and familiar ones end up in the same discussions.
Who was there
Pick up where we left off.
If you met us at UE26, or meant to, write to whoever is closest to your work.
Soufian El Yadmani
Founder & CEO
He presented at UE26 and is the right contact for anything about the research itself, or about what Magnify sees across adversary infrastructure.
Vincent Thiele
Co-Founder & COO
Runs strategy and operations, and has sat in the buying seat himself. The contact for partnerships and for where Internet Intelligence fits alongside what you already run.
Karen Sundermann
Head of Public Sector
Works with CERTs, law enforcement and government teams on what it takes to get Internet Intelligence into operational use rather than a pilot.
