Top SchoolSven Krohlas is a seasoned detection engineer and IT security consultant with 20 years of experience focused on mail security, spam and phishing detection. Currently at Spamhaus, he specializes in processing third‑party phish reports and building practical detection workflows, drawing on a long track record of developing Python tooling, parsers and Elastic‑based pipelines.
