Alexander Gould
Alex Gould is a serving member of the Australian Army Reserve who applies structured military intelligence methodology to cyber threat analysis, including the use of centre of gravity analysis for cyber risk prioritisation. This cross-domain perspective informs how he approaches adversary profiling, campaign analysis, and the translation of threat intelligence into resource prioritisation decisions.
In his civilian role, Alex is a CTI Strategist at RST Cloud, a global cyber threat intelligence company whose products are used by enterprise, MSSP, and government clients across the globe. Prior to RST Cloud, he was a Specialist Manager in Deloitte's Cyber Intelligence Centre, where his project work spanned federal and state government, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprise clients, including leading a national CTI sharing initiative, developing a CTI framework for operational technology environments, and delivering capability uplift programs for organisations building or maturing internal intelligence functions.
Alex has presented at CyberCon Canberra and CyberCon Melbourne and moderated practitioner panels on CTI tradecraft across the Asia-Pacific and Middle East.
Stopping the tank: Centre of gravity analysis for cyber threat prioritisation
Borrowed from military doctrine, centre of gravity analysis identifies the one dependency an attack would need to disrupt, making prioritisation defensible.
The cyber threat intelligence assumptions adversary AI is already breaking
Documented 2025 cases show adversaries rewriting malware, mass-generating phishing lures and hijacking defenders' own AI tools, breaking key CTI assumptions.
