Kevin Alejandro Roundy

I graduated with a Ph.D. in May 2012, when I joined Symantec Research Labs, now known as Norton Research Group (NRG). I have been there ever since, where I continue to be a researcher and Senior Technical Director in our group, living in the Los Angeles area. My research has resulted in many new deployed detection algorithms that identify millions of malicious and benign software files each day on behalf of our customers. I am particularly proud of work we have done to protect survivors of intimate partner violence from mobile apps that abusers to harass them and to turn survivors' cellphones into sophisticated spying devices. I also do research that considers the human factors that influence consumer security and privacy.
