FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Incident Response
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.
To gather the data and intelligence you need to fully detect and respond to threats, you need the ability to scale up and down the pyramid.
By understanding the latest threat trends, security teams can take measures to ensure that their security strategies, including the identification and tracking of new IOCs, are being correctly updated.
The risk of company employees walking away with sensitive data or selling their access credentials has never been greater now that a record number of individuals have been laid off.
While it may be a trendy term, in cybersecurity, intelligence pivoting is pivotal to detection and response.
