Cameron Malin is an esteemed expert in Cyber Behavioral Profiling with a deep knowledge of digital forensics who has testified regarding cyber-crime, computer intrusions, malicious code (malware) and cyber-attacks. Specifically, he has testified in the Federal court system and has provided guidance related to how cyber-crimes were conducted, how malware was used to compromise a victim’s computer systems, malware forensics, digital evidence review, types of cyber-attacks, cyber-crime conspiracies, criminal conspiracies, malware used to profit schemes, general properties and characteristics of malware, characteristics of cyber-attacks, and more. Formerly, Mr. Malin was an Assistant State Attorney (ASA) and Special Assistant United States Attorney in Miami, Florida, where he specialized in computer crime prosecutions.

He has over twenty-two years of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) experience investigating, analyzing, profiling and locating cyber adversaries across the spectrum of local cyber criminals to national security attacks. As a Cyber Behavioral Profiler and former Supervisory Special Agent/Behavioral Profiler with the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), he specialized in the assessment of cyber attackers, cyber adversary tradecraft, cyber deception and digital behavioral criminalistics.

Mr. Malin founded two specialized subunits: the FBI BAU’s Cyber Behavioral Analysis Center (CBAC) – the methodology and application of science-based behavioral profiling and assessment to national security and criminal cyber offenders – and the BAU’s Deception and Influence Group (DIG) – a uniquely trained and experienced cadre of Behavioral Profilers specializing in analyses of and countermeasures to adversary cyber deception campaigns and influence operations. He has assessed hundreds of offenders and cases spanning the spectrum of cyber, counterintelligence, counterterrorism and violent crime matters.

Employing his training and experience, Mr. Malin developed Digital Behavioral Criminalistics™, a combined application of numerous forensic disciplines – digital forensics, criminalistics, and behavioral sciences – to meaningfully uncover offender thoughts and actions in digital artifacts. He formally introduced this discipline in his book chapter, “Digital Behavioral Criminalistics to Elucidate the Cyber Pathway to Intended Violence,” in the International Handbook of Threat Assessment. Additionally, he is a co-author of the authoritative cyber deception book, Deception in the Digital Age: Exploiting and Defending Human Targets Through Computer-Mediated Communication and co-author of the Malware Forensics book series: Malware Forensics: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code, Malware Forensics Field Guide for Windows Systems, and Malware Forensics Field Guide for Linux Systems.

Upon retiring from his illustrious career with the FBI, Mr. Malin founded Modus Cyberandi, a company that provides consulting services related to the prevention and analysis of formidable cyber-crimes, including cyber behavioral profiling.
