She has worked with financial institutions, law enforcement, large technology companies, and other organisations belonging to the public and private sectors, helping them strengthen their cybersecurity posture and skill set. Christina is also conducting vulnerability assessments on corporations and high-value targets. Those reports are based on Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT). Their goal is to help organisations identify and manage risks related to human or physical vulnerabilities. These risks are the result of intelligence that is produced through publicly available resources and that threat actors regularly utilise in their attacks.
