Summary
Alexander Adamov is a cybersecurity entrepreneur and academic with 11+ years of experience bridging advanced malware research and education as Founder and CEO of NioGuard Security Lab. He combines hands-on malware analysis and automation expertise with a history of building and leading research teams at Lavasoft, Mirantis, and Design and Test Lab. As a senior lecturer and associate professor, he has shaped cybersecurity curricula and EU-funded programs (ENGENSEC, PROMIS) to train the next generation in reverse engineering, digital forensics, and ML in security. His background includes practical Android reverse-engineering training for industry (Samsung R&D) and collaboration with Kaspersky Academy, reflecting deep ties between industry practice and academic instruction. Based in Karlskrona, Sweden, he pairs a strong research pedigree (MSc and MPh in data mining) with operational experience developing malware detection, clustering, and analysis automation.
