On March 13, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats welcomed Erin Joe as the second director of the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC).
Joe most recently served
as a senior executive over cyber operations at the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), where she led the Bureau’s strategy and response to
various nation-state cyber and cyberterrorism threats worldwide. She held leadership
positions in three FBI offices and four FBI divisions at headquarters. Joe
served as a special agent in the FBI for 22 years, with experience in
intelligence and operations across national security and criminal programs.
“Erin’s background, experience,
and wealth of knowledge make her a great addition to our leadership team,” said
Coats.
Established in 2015, CTIIC
builds understanding of foreign cyber threats to U.S. national interests and
informs decision making by federal cyber centers, departments, agencies, and
policymakers. CTIIC also integrates threat-related information from the network
defense, intelligence, incident response, and law enforcement communities, as
well as from non-government sources; facilitates information sharing; integrates
community analysis of cyber threats; and supports interagency planning to
develop whole-of-government responses to cyber adversaries.
Joe succeeds Tonya
Ugoretz, a career FBI intelligence analyst who served as CTIIC director for
almost three years.
