Sending a big Laker-Shout-out to MS Intelligence Program alum Michael Lyden ‘07, Senior Intelligence Officer at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory.

Mr. Lyden spoke with the Introduction to Intelligence Studies students today about his experiences as an intelligence professional. Mr. Lyden is a technology protection and counterintelligence professional specializing in counterespionage, adversarial supply chain threats, and due diligence tradecraft. He spoke with the class about his path to the Intelligence career and some very cool experiences he has had during his long career. Mr. Lyden’s passion for the field and for young analysts finding a good career path was clear! He even hung around long after class to answer all kinds of Laker questions.

Thanks, Michael Lyden!
