&lt;p&gt;I started my career at &lt;strong&gt;Kaspersky Lab&lt;/strong&gt;, researching web-related threats. That experience shaped my interest in understanding how attackers use web infrastructure and how their activity can be identified through network traffic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Outside my main work, I continue to explore web threats, OSINT, and social engineering techniques. Social engineering was also closely related to my master&amp;rsquo;s research.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Conference Talks</title><link>https://naumovax.github.io/talks/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://naumovax.github.io/talks/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A collection of my talks at cybersecurity conferences (camps, meetups etc.), covering malware research, network traffic analysis, and threat detection.
