In this week's episode of the Future of Cyber Risk podcast, David speaks to Selena Larson, Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst at Proofpoint, a company that offers compliance and cybersecurity solutions. They discuss how Selena's background in journalism informs what she does today, what a day in the life of a threat intelligence analyst looks like, and the best skills to have in security, which include empathy and critical thinking. They also discuss how ransomware is surfacing opportunities for change, the future of cyber risk and awareness, and advice for security practitioners.

Topics discussed:

• How Selena got into threat intelligence through her former career as a journalist in the cybersecurity space, and how that work — asking questions, developing hypotheses, and communicating — relates to the threat intelligence she does now.
