Lumen Technologies
Ryan English is a researcher at Lumen Technologies’ Black Lotus Labs, where the team chases threats across the backbone of the internet. He began his career in cybersecurity over 13 years ago after spending most of his life in the military and as a private security specialist, because breaking things is a universal skill. He has spoken at BsidesLV and BsidesNYC among other places, but nothing is better than a Bsides and Hershey’s Chocolate Tour
Danny Adamitis is a principal information security engineer at Black Lotus Labs, the threat research team at Lumen Technologies. Danny has tracked nation-state adversaries using both open-source and proprietary datasets in various roles for several years. More recently he has focused on threats to ISPs, including campaigns in which actors targeted networking equipment, Linux servers, and DNS infrastructure. Prior to joining Lumen Technologies, Daniel worked at Cisco Talos. Danny has a bachelor's degree in Diplomacy and International Relations from Seton Hall University.
