FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Security Architecture
As NSA Chief Hacker Rob Joyce indicated during his recent talk at the Usenix Enigma conference, hackers are patient and persistent.
In security, we have grown accustomed to treating the symptoms of our problems, rather than treating the problems themselves.
Data science and machine learning models can assess large groups of cyber threats to find the subtle traits they have in common to better protect organizations.
While we must continue to use defensive technologies because they help address the level of white noise that has become part of the cost to operate in our hyper-connected, digitized world, we can’t stop there.
There are many contextual details that differentiate cyber threat information from threat intelligence. Only with the proper context can data be considered intelligence, rather than simply information.
Taking a look at security from a different vantage point that allows us to correlate activity by user, rather than by system alone gives us a very different perspective.
When vendors and individuals attempt to keep threat intelligence private, they limit the ability of the entire group to identify and mitigate new threats as they are developed and launched against organizations.
Rather than proceed step by step through the process of building and maturing a security operations function, security teams often want to move immediately into very advanced topics.
Today’s network perimeter is increasingly not a single physical or virtual place, yet much of the industry debate is still focused on the perimeter.
Without a solid base in knowing who you are as a target and what’s going on around you at all times, everything else you do is essentially a half-measure.
