Key Quotes: "Inherent in the cyber threat and in the cyber domain is you’ve got most of the infrastructure owned by private entities." – Laura Galante "One of the things we found was that there’s a lot of really great intelligence production that’s happening at the secret level, and it is not necessarily always getting out to the edge." – Lauren Goldman "You have a lot of folks who don't think of themselves as a cyber person who are there on the front line securing a more and more digitized set of... devices." – Laura Galante "Each one of these typhoons on their own is a really bad storm. Collectively, dare I say, it’s almost a perfect storm." – Frank Cilluffo "Everything we do is about tailoring the intelligence so that it is consumable, so that people get it and they feel armed to make the decisions they need to make." – Lauren Goldman Relevant Links: The Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center Cybersecurity Collaboration Center International Counter Ransomware Initiative Guest Bios:
