Terry Macdonald is a cybersecurity executive and Principal Security Consultant with 11+ years leading threat intelligence, incident response and Security Operations Centre (SOC) modernisation work from Auckland, New Zealand. As COO of Cosive he translates detection and CTI strategy into operational improvements, tooling and training that measurably raise SecOps maturity for enterprise customers. He has deep practical STIX/TAXII experience from vendor and platform engagements (including Microsoft, Soltra and his own Threatloop consultancy) and a history of engineering detection programs at scale from Cisco and Telecom NZ. Active in standards and national fora, he chairs the New Zealand Internet Task Force, contributes to OASIS CTI, and co-chairs a FIRST information-exchange SIG—reflecting a rare blend of technical delivery and policy influence. He’s as comfortable building playbooks, SIEM integrations and automated workflows as he is shaping interoperability standards to make threat-sharing actually work.
