In addition to Jackson, LookingGlass also brought on board Marcus as the Senior Director of Cyber Intelligence. He has co-created methodologies and analytical processes to effectively research and target hackers and cyber threat actors both locally and internationally. He built Intelligence Summaries and presentations based on prevalent threats, APT groups, or attacks and delivered thousands of intelligence products and briefings based upon unique customer intelligence requirements. 

Prior to joining LookingGlass, Marcus served as a senior Principal Engineer at both McAfee and Intel, where he helped drive intelligence, detection methodologies and data analytic roadmaps as well as overall technical direction as part of their Technical Leadership Teams.
