Jeremy Bender is an experienced writer, researcher, reporter, and editor with experience in the cybersecurity and digital media industries.

In the private intelligence world, Jeremy Bender project managed a team of analysts and provided final editorial review for topics ranging from deep and dark web cybercriminal chatter to violent extremist operations while at Flashpoint. Jeremy then pivoted to writing intelligence reports for NTT Security, before joining Proofpoint as a senior security education content developer.

For digital media, Jeremy has bylines at BuzzFeed, Cheapism, Business Insider, and Business News Daily. He has written everything from cybersecurity tips for your small and medium-sized business to listicles about cats, to money-saving life hacks, to geopolitical analyses of Russia’s militarization of the Arctic and the looming security implications of global climate change.

  • As a senior security education content developer at Proofpoint, I created weekly threat alerts on emergent threats, monthly attack spotlights highlighting ongoing campaigns, and educational modules on everything from phishing and social engineering to secure development and physical security.

I have also provided content and SEO updates for older articles on the website dealing with cybersecurity and business productivity tools.

  • As a Security Intelligence Writer at NTT Security, I produced a mixture of articles for monthly threat reports on topics such as threats to 5G networks, as well as threat advisory bulletins covering one of four intelligence topics: adversary, victim, malware, or vulnerability.

    Writing for NTT Security means I had to stay on top of today’s emerging cybersecurity and geopolitical news, the ways in which the two influenced each other, and potential repercussions for our clients.
