What you'll be doing

  • Design iterative adversarial red-team/blue-team games, collaborating with the RS (Control) team to escalate attack difficulty as monitors improve

  • Write up campaign findings as external publications and internal reports
  • Feed findings back into Watcher's monitor development and Apollo's blue-teaming research to enhance product robustness
