Rafal will be presenting on Developing Intelligence Processes for Enterprise


A cyber threat intelligence function is essential to the modern enterprise. Understanding actors, attacks and indicators is essential to mounting a relevant defense against both sophisticated actors and those not-so sophisticated. But indicators and "threat data" alone isn't solving the long-term security issues - primarily because intelligence hasn't been fully integrated into the enterprise IT stack. This talk discusses relevant ways enterprises have integrated their CTI functions into various parts of enterprise IT to prevent, detect, respond and recover more effectively. From tactical and operational decision making to strategic planning - cyber threat intelligence has a deep potential in the enterprise that is currently untapped. By sharing some of these leading practices and more advanced integrations attendees can gain the tribal knowledge today's progressive CISOs already have.

 

 

The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)® is a not-for-profit international organization of information security professionals and practitioners.  It provides education forums, publications and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill and professional growth of its members. We hope the ISSA will provide a chance to interface with other IT professionals and further your awareness of security practices and technologies.
