| Summary |
"This book describes the intelligence techniques and models used in cyber threat intelligence. It provides a survey of ideas, views and concepts, rather than offering a hands-on practical guide. It is intended for anyone who wishes to learn more about the domain, possibly because they wish to develop a career in intelligence, and as a reference for those already working in the area. The origins of this book lie in an awkward dinner conversation. On one side of the table was myself, a software engineer who had fallen into the domain of cyber security more or less by accident. On the other was a uniformed senior military intelligence officer. A shared professional interest in cyber threat intelligence had led to us being invited to the same event"-- Provided by publisher. |
