Most recently, Alex’s cybersecurity investigations work has involved: investigating cybersecurity breaches and the associated incident response; attribution of systematic and targeted compromise of an opposing party’s email servers, responding to allegations related to a technically complex and vast multi-jurisdictional compromise of mobile devices; investigating and identifying potential weaknesses in malware which utilizes unique attributes to resist common take down measures.

In addition to investigations work, Alex has designed, implemented and tested compliance processes and advised on pre/post-acquisition due diligence in the areas covered by his investigations practice.
