Podcast#4 Collective Defense Under Pressure

Navigating Threat Intelligence Sharing in Uncertain Times

First, we’re joined again by Joe Slowik, formerly a Principal Critical Infrastructure Threat Intelligence Engineer at MITRE and now Director for cybersecurity alerting at Dataminr. Joe’s career spans the U.S. Navy, national labs, and private sector security teams—where he’s led efforts to track adversary behavior and build resilient cyber defense programs.

He recently joined us for a previous episode of The Lock & Key Lounge, and today’s conversation picks up where that one left off—so if you haven’t already, be sure to check it out for added context.

We’re also joined by Tim Chase, Program Director at GRF, who leads the Manufacturing-ISAC and the Energy Analytic Security Exchange. Tim has built some of the most effective threat-sharing communities in the country—connecting private sector operators with government partners in real time.

We’ll talk about how those communities are built, what trust looks like in practice, and why threat sharing is no longer just a best practice—it’s a business imperative.
