How does a military intelligence background translate to cyber threat intelligence? Sam Flockhart, a former UK military intelligence operator who now heads threat management at a global bank, reveals the fascinating journey and powerful parallels between these worlds.
Sam opens up about his transition from conventional military intelligence to the cyber realm despite having ”absolutely no cyber knowledge” initially. He shares a critical insight for job seekers: while certifications matter, demonstrating real knowledge and preparation during interviews often matters more. Sam explains how anticipating common interview questions about threat actors, their methodologies, and recent attacks can set candidates apart.
Drawing from his military expertise on Russia and Ukraine, Sam offers a riveting deep dive into why ransomware predominantly emerges from Russian-speaking regions. He explains the cultural concept of ”Kresha” (roof/protection) that allows these groups to operate with impunity and traces how post-Soviet history created the perfect ecosystem for cybercrime to flourish. This cultural understanding adds a crucial dimension to technical threat analysis that many professionals overlook.
The conversation explores how military intelligence frameworks have shaped modern CTI practices. From tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to intelligence collection plans and priority intelligence requirements – these structured approaches have been adopted by the cyber community. Sam also discusses the nuances of intelligence sharing in private sector environments compared to military settings, where different constraints and opportunities exist.
For aspiring CTI professionals, Sam's advice is practical and actionable: prepare thoroughly by researching top threats, understand organizational stakeholders who consume intelligence, and familiarize yourself with various intelligence sources. This episode offers invaluable guidance for anyone looking to enter the field or enhance their threat intelligence capabilities through a deeper understanding of the human element behind cyber attacks.
