Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Williams is a UK-based cyber security researcher and PhD candidate at the University of Bristol specializing in detection, prevention, and remediation of malware in industrial control systems. With eight years’ hands-on experience that includes SOC analyst work at Claranet and a distinction MSc in Cyber Security, he blends operational incident response skills with rigorous academic research. His MSc research and an earlier UWE internship produced tooling to visualize malware propagation across LANs, a practical thread that continues into his TIPS-at-Scale PhD.
