Chatting with Nigel Boston, who is a Senior Cyber Threat Intelligence Professional. Nigel has built and led threat intelligence programs that reduce incident response times, operationalize threat intelligence, and automate workflows to help teams focus on what really matters: staying ahead of the threat curve. In this episode, we discuss how Nigel discovered cyber threat intelligence and carved a path into the field, what core security skills make a difference in Cyber Threat Intelligence, and how threat intelligence intersects with detection engineering, cloud security, and even AI. We also dive into the future of threat intelligence, the rise of actionable intelligence, and his new course, Cyber Threat Intelligence Fundamentals, with Ellington Cyber Academy (ECA), which is a game-changer for anyone looking to break into the space. We’ve also had Kenneth, the founder of ECA, in EP 10, so definitely be sure to check that out. Whether you're new to cybersecurity or looking to elevate your threat intelligence, this conversation is packed with clarity, strategy, and real-world wisdom. Quick side note: This episode was filmed in November 2024, so you can expect to see me with shorter hair. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe! 🍎 Listen on Apple Podcasts: 🎧 Listen on Spotify: → Nigel's LinkedIn: → Nigel's Course: → ECA: 00:00 Intro 01:46 About Nigel 07:16 Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Skills 10:59 Day In The Life 15:43 AI & Cyber Threat Intelligence 21:35 Cyber Threat Intelligence in the Cloud 23:50 Nigel's Threat Intelligence Fundamentals Course 28:20 Measuring Effectiveness 31:11 The Future of Cyber Threat Intelligence 38:15 Final Thoughts 39:44 Outro _____________ RELATED EPISODES/VIDEOS 🎙️Episode with Kenneth Ellignton on SIEM & SOAR: _____________ SPONSORS 👨🏾‍💻 Enhance your coding skills for cybersecurity with Code Crafters: 🦾 Enhance your health to manage your challenging cybersecurity career with Ultrahuman (Discount Code "DAYSPRING10": 🫂 Join this channel to support the mission: _____________ ⚡️JOIN 6,000+ CWX MEMBERS ON DISCORD: 📰 SUBSCRIBE TO THE CYBERWOX UNPLUGGED NEWSLETTER: 🥶 WINTER MERCH: _____________ 🧬 CYBERWOX RESOURCES 🔹 Cyberwox Cybersecurity Notion Templates for planning your career: 🔹 Cyberwox Best Entry-Level Cybersecurity Resume Template: 🔹 Learn AWS Threat Detection with my LinkedIn Learning Course: _____________ 📱 LET'S CONNECT → IG: ​ → Threads: @daycyberwox → Substack: @cyberwox → Twitter: ​ → LinkedIn: → Tiktok: @cyberwox Email: day@ _____________ #️⃣ Relevant Hashtags #cybersecurity #hacking #bootcamp #threatdetection #cloudcomputing #cloudsecurity #technology #tech #dallas #texas #cloud _____________ ⚠️DISCLAIMER This video description has some affiliate links, and I may receive a small commission for purchases made through these links.
