Thanks for the experience!

My 15 months of full-time volunteer, self-funded research to give back cybersecurity science and cyber threat intelligence tradecraft knowledge and expertise to the global cybersecurity community ends next week. Through this experience I've authored over a dozen freely available articles to raise awareness of the Science of Security and picked up over 1700 new follows on LinkedIn who were interested in learning more about the Science of Security.

My big research project was primarily focused on how to make the humans doing cyber defense more effective and efficient with scientific technology that could help people "connect the dots" faster and more accurately with reliable knowledge. While this isn't listed as anyone's hard problem, it is my firm believe that people are our greatest asset in cyber defense. More research is needed to help the people defending our cyber ecosystem better understand the cybersecurity and cyber threat data faster and more accurately so they can respond faster and get inside the threat actor's OODA loop.

Please reach out if you have any final questions or comments on any of the published articles released here or on LinkedIn. Thanks everyone for your support and I hope you found the knowledge and experience of benefit to you and your organizations. Special thanks to the NSA/CSS Threat Operations Center (NTOC) Office of Analysis, without your feedback on my "Cyber Threat Intelligence" research project this current Science of Security research would have never happened.

Remember, cyber is a team sport and it's up to all of us to help one another be successful. Take care! Shawn
