Before joining MITRE, Antonia served as a Cyber Warfare Officer in the United States Army, and she continues to work on innovative research and real-world problem sets that aim to advance the state of cyberspace operations and cyber threat hunting. Antonia earned her B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the United States Military Academy, and her Master of Science (S.M.) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Since 2007, Steve has focused on delivering innovative solutions to cyber missions, with a special focus on ATT&CK® and its application to hunting. Steve co-authored a paper on TTP-Based Hunting, developed and delivered educational materials about that methodology, and leads purple teaming events to explore ATT&CK techniques and develop robust analytic approaches to detect them. He is one of the MAD Professors for the Threat Hunting course.
Steve earned a B.S. and Masters of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University with a focus on digital signal processing. He served as an officer in the United States Air Force prior to joining MITRE in 2005.
While studying for his Master's degree, Sean conducted research on methods for securing Android devices. Once he joined MITRE in 2012, he began researching methods for detecting Advanced Persistent Threats using what would later become known as the ATT&CK Framework. Since that time, he has been a major contributor to the Cyber Analytic Repository, worked with sponsors across MITRE’s work program on using ATT&CK, and has authored MITRE papers on using ATT&CK and Cyber Hunting. He currently lives in Germany, supporting projects in Europe and Africa, in addition to authoring training videos for MITRE Engenuity. In his free time, he enjoys kiteboarding, boardgames, and tabletop wargaming.
Sean holds a Bachelor's degree in Information Science from Christopher Newport University and a Master’s degree in Information Security and Assurance from George Mason University. He has spent his entire professional career working for the MITRE Corporation, to include supporting its sponsors as well as occasionally working with partners from other nations in developing their cyber capabilities.
