015 Becoming an Analyst Part 2: Educational Foundations

Ever thought of becoming a threat intelligence analyst? This is the second in our occasional series of behind-the-scenes looks at Recorded Future, where we drop in from time to time on team members, to find out what it is they do, how they do it, what made them choose their careers, along with some advice for anyone considering the field. They share their stories, in their own words. In this episode, we introduce you to Wendy DeLuca and CW Walker. Although they come with experience in analysis and cyber security, neither of them had a conventional technical educational pathway to working in threat intelligence. We’ll find out why, and why both of them consider that an asset.
