Protective Intelligence & Threat Monitoring | Kristin Lenardson

The threat landscape is becoming so much more difficult with
online threats and with people putting online whatever they want.
If your principal or a politician tweets about their company, or
they tweet something negative about themselves, you could
immediately have thousands of threats or people that are
adversarial towards you very quickly. So, in the past where we
used to worry about one person physically showing up somewhere,
you could  now actually have a whole movement against
you, or a government, depending on what you're looking
into. 


This week On the Circuit Magazine Podcast,
we're speaking with Kristin
Lenardson of Crisis 24 and founding board member of
the International Protective Security Board (IPSB) as
she discusses how protective intelligence and how EP has
transformed over the last two years.


Join us as we chat about why you have to understand threat
management and how to really push yourself forward and
distinguish yourself in the field so you can get hired. Key
insights and takeaways from this episode include: 


What problem are we really trying to solve for by integrating
threat Intel as a service for EP?

Accuracy of intelligence versus speed of dissemination? Which
is more important?

What practices and resources are recommended for operators to
remain on top of threat monitoring? 

What can SOC operators do to achieve greater buy-in from
their mobile assets?

How to get buy-in and explain the value proposition of
intelligence gathering and analysis to stakeholders who sometimes
view it as an optional extra, or a ‘nice to have.’

Advice or recommendations for anyone who is interested in
this line of work and where to get more information and a better
understanding of what it takes to be a threat analysist? What
sort of skills, traits, qualifications and education is required?



Be sure to tune in to this jam-packed episode with tons of
actionable ideas and tips!
