Give us a little bit of background on you just a little bit about who you are, what you do, how long you’ve been at bitdefender. Let’s just get to know you a little bit.

Liviu Arsene  [0:31] 

All right, so as you already said, I’m a global cyber security researcher for bitdefender. I’ve been with the company for the better part of a decade now and close to celebrating my 10 year anniversary with bit defender. my current role is actually interfacing with research and investigation teams, and do malware forensic analysis. So basically, what I do is try to, if you will interpret the really technical language and the really detailed, researched investigations that comes from our forensics team, and try to present them in a way that even our marketing guys can understand what to do with them. So if you even look like me, right? I was kind of, I’m kind of like an interface between these two, two branches, two worlds. So this is kind of like my main focus. My main focus right now.
