About
Andrew M. Morris is a leading researcher in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on combating adversarial Internet robots—commonly known as botnets—and their multifaceted threats to digital infrastructure. His most influential work, "Zero Botnets: An Observe-Pursue-Counter Approach" (2022), introduces a proactive framework for detecting, tracking, and neutralizing botnet operations before they can cause harm. This paper has garnered 10 citations, reflecting its growing recognition in the field. Morris's research addresses critical botnet-driven activities, including reconnaissance (scanning and phishing), influence operations (coordinated upvoting), and illicit financing (ransomware, market manipulation, and denial-of-service attacks). By integrating observation, pursuit, and countermeasures, his approach offers a novel strategy for achieving a "zero botnet" state—a significant contribution to network security. Morris's work is notable for its practical implications, providing defenders with actionable methods to preemptively disrupt botnet ecosystems. His research continues to shape the development of resilient cybersecurity protocols, making him a key voice in the ongoing battle against automated cyber threats.
