Amazon x WiCyS CTF

Every organization has a unique risk profile based on a number of factors, including the industry it is in, the geographic location, the types of goods and services it provides, and its digital footprint. While most companies today do not have documented intelligence requirements, even fewer clearly understand their company’s risk profile and how to focus their intelligence efforts toward reducing risk.

In this WiCyS strategic partner webinar with RecordedFuture, Threat Intelligence experts Kathleen Kuczma and Charity Wright will lead a tailored “adventure” to operationalize threat intelligence in your organization.

With guidance and recommendations along the journey, attendees will identify the risk profile of your organization, choose which types of threat intelligence are needed to fill collection gaps and map those to relevant actions (automated and manual) that proactively reduce risk.
