Event Synopsis:

Commercial and government organizations face an increasing amount of cyber threats targeting sensitive information. Even as organizations have added more security layers and staff, data breaches are still occuring at a tremendous rate because cybercriminals, hacktivists and nation states shift their tactics to evade traditional cybersecurity defenses. Without an intelligence-driven approach to cybersecurity, vast sums of money can be spent in a futile attempt to protect assets, data, and information.

By using Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), organizations can understand what specific threats they face and use these insights to drive the most effective defense. CTI provides critical insights into an organization’s greatest areas of risk and includes the identification of relevant potential threats, adversarial tactics, techniques and procedures; monitoring, collecting, and sharing of information and data relevant to the threats faced by a corporation; and collaborating with government, security, and other relevant organizations.

Most corporations and organizations do not know how or have the resources available to produce and consume proper 'intelligence' to effectively and efficiently identify, prioritize and mitigate critical risks. In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth overview of Cyber Threat Intelligence and will help them understand how it works, why it is beneficial, and explain how to use it to mitigate cyber risks..

Key issues that will be covered in this course are:

• Why the Traditional Cyber Security Approach is No Longer Adequate
• Cyber Threat Intelligence – An Overview
• Understanding the Difference Between Strategic, Operational and Tactical CTI
• The Risk Impact of Dark Web Markets and the Intel That Can be Gathered
• How to Measure Cyber Risks Like Other Critical Business Risks
• Gaining Visibility of Cyber Risks in the Supply Chain
• Information Sharing and Cooperation – Leveraging ISACs and How to Create Your Own ISAC
• Best Practices for Integrating Cyber Threat Intelligence with Security Operations
• Regulatory Issues and Litigation Risks
