ILLIS


I'm a young professional and academic with extensive knowledge in Eurasian relations, intelligence, and US national security. I currently provide intelligence products focused on global security and brand protection for private sector clients.
Using my previous academic and professional experience, I strive to educate people on a wide variety of security-related topics in ways that are digestible for everyone, regardless of knowledge level. I also mentor girls and young women interested in the industry.


Areas of Expertise
Private Sector Security
Private sector/corporate security can seem to many like a nondescript concept to be used as a catch-all, similar to what the phrase "national security" has become. Specific areas of private sector security I have experience include geopolitical conflicts, brand/Intellectual Property protection, and trademark infringement. My reports primarily relate to supply chain interruptions, activism against clients, threats to physical assets and personnel, tracking IP leaks in online communities, significant market changes and instability, and cybersecurity incidents.
