In this episode of Unspoken Security, AJ Nash is joined by Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst (and PhD candidate) Freddy Murre. Freddy brings his years of intelligence and security experience across military service and consulting into a discussion about one of the most common challenges many of us face: demonstrating the value of Intelligence.

Freddy and AJ discuss some of the consistent challenges they see in building intelligence-driven security programs, including educating leadership on the differences between data, information, and Intelligence, structured analytic techniques, and how to speak the language of leadership needed to secure and grow budgets. They go on to share their views on building trust and demonstrating value to leadership, as well as available tools to measure that value in objective, defensible ways.

As always, the show wraps up with our guest revealing something that had, to this point, gone "unspoken." Freddy, like every guest, didn't disappoint with his candid answers.

P.S. Freddy referenced his mind map project, so we wanted to ensure you could find it!
