What is the Career Field of Intelligence?
Manage episode 388849209 series 3527833
In this episode of Unspoken Security, AJ Nash and Janet Rathod - the Global Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence for Citi - talk about what people mean when referring to the career field of Intelligence. They explain what goes into becoming an Intelligence professional, different paths for entering and growing within the career field (HINT: it is more than just smart people who know how to use Google), and why organizations must stop thinking that someone successful in another security discipline can be a plug-and-play answer for building or leading an Intelligence team.
Janet and AJ examine the skills needed to succeed in Intelligence, the importance of education and training, and why people from various backgrounds are so important to building successful Intelligence programs. Additionally, Janet talks about the concept of "intelligence failures" and digs deeper into some of the 188 different kinds of biases that all Intelligence Analysts need to know and overcome to deliver results that influence security decisions.
Finally, as is customary with every episode of Unspoken Security, AJ asks Janet to share something from her career that has so far been unspoken...and she doesn't disappoint!
