Success Factors in Threat Intelligence: Part 3 - Key Elements

This series describes a comprehensive “business technical approach” to the justification, definition, design and execution of Threat Intelligence Programs. What do we mean by “business technical approach’ to Threat Intelligence? Much in the industry is focused solely on one technical aspect or another of threat intelligence data that indicates information about a specific malware family, a set of indicators that can be used to block malicious sites, campaign information that highlights a threat actors profile, their tactic, techniques and procedures. But much of the technically focused content do not discuss how organizations can gather or construct that information themselves, and even more so, how an organization would organize themselves to respond to such data. Much of the output of the industry is providing the fish to organizations rather than teaching the organizations how to fish themselves. A ‘business technical approach’ is one where we define an approach focused on the business needs, the organization personnel, organizational roles & responsibilities, team structure and those elements’ interaction with technology to address the challenge of successful threat intelligence operations. Our goal is to help organizations build effective Threat Intelligence programs. With Part 2, we introduced the overall vision of a successful TI Program. In this webinar, we dig into the key elements of the TI program with concrete examples, and key components of the program that must exist including the right team, process, tools, metrics and connections.
