Drawing from two decades of service in the CIA and current leadership at Blackwire Labs, this talk explores how principles of intelligence tradecraft—such as source validation, adversary modeling, and high-confidence situational awareness—can be adapted to modern AI-driven threat intelligence platforms. By blending human judgment with automation and high-fidelity data sources (e.g., VulnCheck integrations), we’ll demonstrate how practitioners can cut through noise, prioritize risk, and take action faster and with more precision.Key Themes:
- Personal reflection on lessons from the CIA era that still hold relevance today.
- Translating HUMINT-style vetting to vulnerability and exploit intelligence.
- Integrating AI and trusted data sources to operationalize threat intelligence.
- Real-world use cases from the Blackwire.ai platform and VulnCheck partnership.
- Bridging practitioner needs with scalable, credible, and timely insight.
