Abstract:
The evolving nature of threats is a top security challenge that organizations face, and targeted attacks are on the rise. Cyber-attacks are increasingly more sophisticated and organized. Adversaries specialize in different aspects of an attack and collaborate to achieve their objectives. To combat these sophisticated attackers, enterprises must also collaborate to create a united defense to beat cyber criminals at their own game. Making effective use of cyber threat intelligence is an important component of an organization’s security program. Cyber threat intelligence can be obtained internally and from external sources. It must be collected, analyzed, shared and leveraged. This talk discusses the evolving threat landscape and how IT security organization need to use intelligence to proactively defend themselves.
