Summary
David Liebenberg is a threat intelligence leader with a decade of experience specializing in state-sponsored adversaries and China-focused analysis, currently managing Strategic Analysis at Cisco Talos. He has built mission-oriented, fully remote teams, led enterprise-wide adoption of Synapse for intelligence ingestion, and engineered intelligence products and pipelines that underpin Talos outputs and a proprietary NDA sharing program (AEGIS). David blends technical tradecraft—threat tracking, malware/domain blacklisting, and Chinese-language source translation—with strategic partnerships across private and public sectors to turn research into operational protections. His background in East Asian studies and time embedded in China-focused analytic roles gives him uncommon depth in regional political and linguistic context that informs threat attribution and long-term tracking.
