Mark J Bruno: Writer, Researcher, and Security Analyst

I write and research at the intersection of cybersecurity,
conflict, and technology policy through threat intelligence analysis,
policy research, and independent journalism. I do this alongside hands-on security engineering work.

MSc Cybersecurity and Information Assurance · MA International Relations and Security Studies · BSc Communication and Media Management

Security research. Policy analysis. Independent journalism.

My work spans opinionated industry blogging and reporting, professional intelligence products, academic and policy writing, and speculative fiction. I’m also a cybersecurity practitioner, building and testing the systems I write about.
