What happens when the people building intelligence software work side-by-side with the analysts actually using it?
In the penultimate episode of our Signals & Stories 10-Year Anniversary series, Kali Fencl brings together both sides of the equation: Vertex analysts Jennifer Kolde (thesilence) and Mary Beth Lee (savage), alongside engineers William Gibb (epiphyte) and Mike Moritz (redox).
Together, they dig into the relationship between analysts and developers including where their perspectives differ, what they've learned from each other, and how ten years of collaboration has helped shape Synapse.
In this episode:
🔹 Why analyst "edge cases" aren't always edge cases 🔹 How better tooling gives analysts more time to actually analyze 🔹 Why messy real-world data complicates software development 🔹 How rapid feedback and frequent releases improve the platform 🔹 Why good software design often goes unnoticed 🔹 How Synapse power users increasingly bridge the gap between analyst and engineer 🔹 The tradeoffs behind deciding what features actually get built 🔹 How Synapse evolved from an early research project into the platform it is today

How do you know when intelligence is actually trustworthy?
Every cyber threat intelligence analyst eventually encounters a few uncomfortable truths.
Even the most experienced cyber threat intelligence (CTI) analysts aren't immune to cognitive bias. In this episode of Signals & Stories, the team explores some of the most common analytical pitfalls that can quietly influence investigations and how strong analytical tradecraft helps avoid them.
In this episode of Signals & Stories, Kali Fencl sits down with Jennifer Kolde (thesilence), Principal Intelligence Analyst at The Vertex Project, and cyber threat intelligence expert, Kamil Bojarski, to explore how attribution has evolved over the last decade.
