Rebekah Brown has helped develop threat intelligence programs at the highest levels of government and has had some exciting experiences along the way. She is a former National Security Agency network warfare analyst, U.S. Cyber Command training and exercise lead, and crypto-linguist and Cyber Unit Operations Chief for the U.S. Marine Corps. She's even provided a briefing at the White House. But if you ask Rebekah what she's most proud of, she'll tell you it's the success of the students and co-workers she's mentored throughout her career. Rebekah started out in traditional military intelligence work, focused on Chinese cryptologic linguistics. She was then selected to cross-train as a network warfare analyst, which provided the opportunity to fuse her understanding of language and culture with network defense. "I loved the ability to combine different aspects of intelligence and apply it in ways that many people in the intelligence community were just beginning to understand," she says. Rebekah has since provided threat intelligence for all types of security programs ranging from national security operations to state and local governments and Fortune 500 companies. She currently is the threat intelligence lead for Rapid7, where she supports incident and analytical response and global services and provides product support. She is also a course instructor and student mentor at SANS, where she teaches FOR578: Cyber Threat Intelligence, a course she co-authored. She is also co-author along with SANS Instructor Scott Roberts of the book Intelligence Driven Incident Response.
