Threat Intelligence Analyst, FireEye, Inc.
Why did you choose to move into the cybersecurity industry?
After graduating from CSU with a grad certificate in criminal intelligence, I landed a role as an intelligence analyst in the Child Exploitation Internet Unit of the NSW police force. I became fascinated by the cat-and-mouse game that played out between the technical strategies of offenders and the police. This is very similar to the dynamic between hackers and those seeking to protect computing assets. Additionally, the intelligence cycle itself is similar to the reconnaissance phase of a cyber attack. Shortly after leaving this role, I commenced my master's in information systems security (MISS) at CSU.
