About Pete Bryan

As a Principal AI Security Researcher at Microsoft, I have over a decades experience in researching and developing solutions for various security challenges. I currently lead the AI Red Team, a group of experts who proactively test and attack the AI systems that Microsoft is building, to identify and mitigate potential risks and vulnerabilities. I also have a strong background in threat intelligence and cloud security, having previously led the Sentinel Threat Research team and worked for the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center. I have created and published multiple queries and notebooks for Microsoft Sentinel, the cloud-native SIEM and SOAR solution, using KQL and Python. I develop MSTICPy, a Python library for security analysts and researchers.
