About Me


Hi! I'm Thomas Roccia! I've been working in the cybersecurity industry for over 14 years now. My focus and passion lie in the field of threat intelligence and malware analysis. I'm currently working as a Senior Security Researcher at Microsoft.


During my career, I've had the opportunity to travel around the world to manage critical outbreaks and have been on the front lines of some of the most notorious cyber-attacks. I've been tracking cybercrime and nation-state campaigns, and I've worked with law enforcement agencies. 

In addition to my professional work, I'm a regular speaker at security conferences, and I'm committed to contributing to the open-source community through various projects. Since 2015, I've been running the Unprotect Project, an open malware evasion technique database, and I am used to share my findings on social media. I'm always excited to share my experience with others and learn from them too!

Writing this book gave me the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience gained from years of working in the cybersecurity industry. It serves as a continuation of my Security Infographics, which you can find for free on my website. I'm excited to bring a unique and condensed approach to the complex world of threat intelligence, inspired by the lessons I've learned on the front lines.
