SC Media cybersecurity reporter Derek Johnson will talk with CTA president Michael Daniel about how why these activities are designed to help the federal government identify latent threats and vulnerabilities and what (if any) trickle down effects there may be for the broader threat intelligence ecosystem in the public and private sector.
