Rob T. Lee - Chief of Research, AI & Emerging Threats, SANS Institute | "Godfather of Digital Forensics" | CAIO Executive & AI Strategist | Helping C-Suite Leaders Drive AI Transformation Securely | Technical Advisor to US Govt

With over 20 years leading cybersecurity and AI initiatives, from founding officer at the 609th Information Warfare Squadron and serving on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, to my current role as Chief of Research at SANS Institute, I've tackled nation-state attacks, digital forensics, offensive operations (OCO), and advanced threat hunting firsthand.

Known in the industry as the "Godfather of Digital Forensics," I co-authored the groundbreaking Mandiant M-Trends: The APT report and originated the term "Digital Forensics & Incident Response" (#DFIR). My passion lies in mentoring thousands of cybersecurity professionals, empowering them to turn complexity into actionable strategies.
