His research and analysis have focused extensively on Russian and Chinese cyber operations, information warfare, and the strategic misuse of digital platforms.

From 2011 to 2017, Caruso served as Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Taia Global, Inc., where he provided cybersecurity consulting, due diligence investigations, and post-breach analysis for corporate and government-adjacent clients, including work supporting major defense and security organizations.
