Our guest today is Michael Rea. He’s a threat intelligence professional currently working at McAfee. He’s got prior experience in the US Navy, serving at sea and at shore, including positions at Cyber Command and NSA. We’ll discuss his career, how threat intelligence differs between the military and the private sector, and why it’s valuable to formalize the management of your threat intelligence requirements, how best to do that, and why that helps make IT teams more effective. He explains the importance of identifying the use case for threat intelligence, and how to best cut through marketing noise and hype to make sure your threat intelligence provider aligns with your organization’s needs.
