Tom Kellermann & Rick McElroy stories

Tom Kellermann and Rick McElroy are insightful authors who delve into the intersections of cybersecurity and military strategy. Their recent work explores the concept of counterinsurgency and its relevance to modern threat hunting in the cyber domain. By drawing parallels between these two fields, they offer a unique perspective on how strategic frameworks can enhance cybersecurity practices.

In their piece 'Blurred lines: How counterinsurgent strategies apply to threat hunting', Kellermann and McElroy emphasize the importance of context in any operational environment. They argue that just as successful counterinsurgency requires a deep understanding of the local landscape, effective threat hunting necessitates an awareness of the digital ecosystem in which threats emerge. Readers can learn to adopt a more holistic and informed approach to cybersecurity, which could significantly improve their threat detection and response capabilities.
