About Us
Modus Cyberandi was founded by Cameron Malin, a former prosecutor, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent/Behavioral Profiler and author of industry renowned information security books.
Serving as an FBI Behavioral Profiler for over a decade, Cameron was the creator and founder of Cyber Behavioral Analysis Center, the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit’s (BAU) capability to behaviorally assess cyberattackers. Recognizing the need to address adversary information operations, Cameron also created and founded the FBI BAU’s Deception & Influence Group, an elite team of Profilers with unparalleled experience assessing and countering influence and information operation tactics used by malicious actors. A recognized leader in the intelligence community, Cameron created and team-led a select group of international government partners as part of the Five-Eye Behavioral Consortium to Combat Ransomware.
