Threat Intelligence Analysts
These are the professionals who try to put the pieces of the security threat puzzle together. They not only understand how malware works within a system and how to combat it, but they also analyze how the threat was delivered into a system, said Delfine. “Threat intelligence analysts might work in conjunction with a malware reverse engineer to detect potential threats and its effect on a system, but they also look at how an organization treats data, what policies are in place to safeguard data, how suspicious phishing emails are treated, who within an organization has access to what information, how they respond to threats and inform employees about potential risks.”
