Tory Clasen is a technology leader and the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Obscurity Labs. Public profiles identify data science, software engineering, site reliability and platform engineering, and cyber threat hunting as his primary skill areas.
- GitHub — public code, repositories, and profile information.
- LinkedIn — professional profile.
- Obscurity Labs — current organizational context.
Tory's stated technical focus areas provide the initial organizing themes for this knowledge bundle:
- Data science and reproducible technical work.
- Software engineering and systems design.
- Site reliability and platform engineering.
- Cybersecurity data collection and analysis, including cyber threat hunting.
- Response on SBOM Requirements — a 2021 requirements response that credits Tory with additional comments and review.
- Software artifact modeling — a skillset evidenced by that review contribution's focus on artifact identity, metadata, provenance, and relationships.
- Software supply-chain security — the domain named in Tory's public biography and connected to his SBOM review contribution.
- Platform reliability engineering — the skillset corresponding to Tory's stated site reliability and platform-engineering focus.
- Cyber threat hunting — the investigative security skillset named in Tory's public profile.
- Cyber defense — the defensive domain connecting threat hunting, cybersecurity analysis, and response.
- Cybersecurity sensor grids — the DoD-related sensing domain mentioned in Tory's public biography.
- Cyber-event ontologies — the domain connected to the public biography's statement that Tory worked with DARPA to build ontologies for describing cyber events.
- Cyber-event data modeling and ontology engineering — the supporting skillset for representing and relating cyber events across data sources.
- U.S. Army Cyber Branch — the Army organizational context for Tory's documented 170A cyber-operations training milestone.
Public Army records also document an earlier Army cyber transition from automation support in an operational unit to formal cyber-operations training.
Concepts about Tory's projects, technical practices, interests, and professional context should link to this record when they describe him directly.
