Security Slapshot: What does it take to successfully apply the process of intelligence to cyber security? John Boling: Intelligence is NOT failing because of data or people, but from a lack of direction. The industry must recognize that intelligence emerges from a system with clear objectives. Give your analyst clear direction outlining what questions need answers for the organization. In the process, the organization benefits as individuals thrive. The challenge lies in embracing the situation and translating the value of the intelligence process into the picture of a better tomorrow.”]
