FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Incident Response
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the threats you are facing and what you must defend, you need to start by aggregating internal data from across the entire ecosystem
The center of gravity of the Security Operations Center (SOC) used to be the SIEM, but this is shifting as the mission of the SOC shifts to become a detection and response organization.
The pandemic has resulted in security team members and teams working better together, as well as more closely with other departments and with industry sharing groups.
For companies trying to build new or mature existing intelligence programs, the Age of COVID has been an excellent time to capture 30-60 minutes with that hard-to-find manager
To push security operations forward, we must move towards a single, collaborative environment that can include threat hunters, incident handlers and threat intelligence and SOC analysts.
As you build your cyber intelligence program – and have all the vendors lined up to take your money – don’t overlook the importance of investing in the right people.
Curated threat intelligence is an essential capability of the SOC, enabling tools and teams to work more efficiently and effectively to optimize everything from incident response to threat hunting.
Knowing that threat intelligence is readily available and proving its worth is one thing, understanding how to use it within your security operations program is quite another.
When intelligence becomes a capability and not just subscriptions to feeds, we can gain the full value of intelligence as the foundation to security operations.
As organizations’ visibility is limited to what their threat intelligence vendors cover, by definition they will never have full visibility.
