Maturing the Cyber Threat Intelligence Field into a Discipline

My background is in operational intelligence. I started my career as a naval intelligence officer working the dynamic problems of operational fleets in real-world, ours-vs-theirs situations. I later worked joint and allied military intelligence, but still in that operational side of the field, trying to figure out what might happen in chaotic situations where adversaries were trying to keep their intent secret. Later in my career I was able to apply those lessons to the new construct of intelligence support to cyber conflict. As the first director of intelligence to the first DoD cyber command, the Joint Task Force for Computer Network Defense, I was able to apply lessons of operational intelligence to the new world of continuous cyber operations.
