Developing The Analyst: Creating Career Roadmaps for Intelligently Progressing in CTI
John Doyle, Certified Instructor Candidate, SANS Institute

Cyber Threat Intelligence analysts work tirelessly to know all there is to know about cyber adversaries, their operational tradecraft, and workflows to support risk exposure reduction and cyber defense efforts. From helping an organization prioritize focus on certain cyber threat groups to developing an enriched cyber threat picture to crafting signatures and supporting hunt missions, the work never seems to slow. Days and weeks pass then suddenly it is end year and you are left wondering where has the time gone and what am I doing with my life? In this talk, I provide practical guidance on career planning, including how to develop an annual roadmap, ways to approach career planning conversations with your leadership team, and defining tangible milestones to assist analysts, threat researchers, and the various other CTI disciplines.

This talk is designed for CTI practitioners of all experience levels, focusing on how the planning thought process changes from newly emergent CTI practitioners to senior practitioners that will need to decide to stay individual contributors or move into management. This talk concludes by presenting a series of resources to enable analysts to progress intelligently within their careers.
