In this episode of Threat Vector, David Moulton is joined by Keith Mularski, Chief Global Ambassador at Qintel and former FBI cybercrime investigator, to explore how threat intel forged in the underground is reshaping today’s SOC. Keith shares lessons from his legendary career—undercover operations, dismantling DarkMarket, and leading some of the FBI’s most successful cybercrime takedowns. Together, they dig into how security operations centers can evolve by adopting the mindset of the adversary. You’ll hear why today’s SOC needs to prioritize threat context over alert volume, how collaboration across sectors drives real transformation, and why the next leap in SOC maturity won’t be technical—it’ll be strategic.
You can also find Keith as one of the hosts of N2K CyberWire's Only Malware in the Building podcast that publishes the first Tuesday of each month. Check it out.
