About
Energetic and driven, Andrew Schwartz is a Principal Detection Engineer at Huntress with extensive expertise in offensive and defensive security, vulnerability management, and transformational strategies that help organizations detect and stop adversaries before they succeed. A published researcher with a focus on Active Directory security, specifically Kerberos, LDAP, and DACL-based attack detection, Andrew is notably the co-author of the Kerberos Diamond Ticket attack.
His passion for security started at a young age, sparked by classic action, crime, and spy movies alongside a fascination with global security agencies and current events. As a kid, he spent countless hours reading weekly issues of Time and Newsweek from cover to cover, which ultimately inspired his early career in investigative roles supporting federal and local law enforcement.
Andrew's drive to continually evolve within InfoSec shows in his commitment to continuous learning. Whether reading, following industry research, taking specialized training courses, or engaging with colleagues across the security community, he stays at the forefront of emerging threats and security tools. Outside of building detections and analyzing new attack vectors, Andrew enjoys playing chess, cheering on Tottenham Hotspur, and crafting the perfect Old Fashioned or Boulevardier.
