Cybersecurity Science with Shawn Riley

Introduction: In today's world, the demand for STEM skills is growing rapidly, making it essential to provide a STEM education that focuses on building scientific reasoning and argumentation skills. One promising approach to STEM education is Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI), which emphasizes the construction and defense of scientific claims based on scientific reasoning and data analysis. ADI has been used in various STEM courses from grade school to university levels to promote deeper understanding of scientific concepts and practices. Additionally, ADI can be applied in real-world contexts by STEM professionals to investigate complex phenomena, from subatomic particles to financial markets, and develop evidence-based solutions. In this paper, we will explore the use of ADI in STEM education and its real-world applications. We will also discuss how ADI can benefit employees by improving their problem-solving, decision-making, innovation, collaboration, and adaptability skills. ADI i...

In this article, we'll explore how argument-driven inquiry can be applied to cyber threat intelligence, how argument-driven inquiry aligns to the intelligence cycle, a step by step implementation, and highlight some of the benefits of integrating argument-driven inquiry into cyber threat intelligence.  When argument-driven inquiry is applied to the field of Cyber Threat Intelligence, these 7 steps align with the Intelligence Lifecycle. The Intelligence Lifecycle is a framework that is widely used in the intelligence community, and it consists of six stages: Planning and Direction, Collection, Processing and Exploitation, Analysis and Production, Dissemination, and Feedback. By aligning the steps of ADI with the Intelligence Lifecycle, cybersecurity professionals can take a more structured and efficient approach to intelligence gathering and analysis. In the first stage of the Intelligence Lifecycle, Planning and Direction, the focus is on identifying intelligence requirements and p...
