Talk 1 - 7:00 PM
Talk Title: The Cognitive Stairways of Analysis: OSINT by Nicole Hoffman
Abstract: Analysis. You might hear this term all the time. What does it really mean? How do you analyze data? Unfortunately, this is something I had to sort out on my own when I landed my first info sec job as a cyber security analyst intern. I have learned a lot since that day, but I still feel there is a huge gap in training when it comes to analysis.
In this presentation I will go over what prompted me to create the analytic framework The Cognitive Stairways of Analysis and provide an overview of the OSINT stairway.
Speaker Bio: Experienced Intelligence Analyst and creator of the Cognitive Stairways of Analysis Framework, Nicole Hoffman has a passion for developing the analytic tradecraft. Her work, research, and presentations have inspired and educated others around the international analytic community.
Nicole was inspired by her kids to write a children’s book that could introduce threat intelligence concepts through a whimsical medieval tale. Nicole believes children are the future and wants to empower the next generation of Intelligence Analysts.
