Shawn P. Murray knows firsthand the importance of putting threat intelligence to good use. Murray was advising a defense contractor for the US government when information from a threat intelligence report raised a red flag.
Based on the data, Murray ferreted out a problem in the company’s supply chain, identifying that a potential new vendor that purported to be Canadian was actually headquartered in Russia and linked to organized crime. The intel further indicated that any data shared with that vendor would ultimately end up in Russian servers.
