Synopsis

In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the establishment of a robust Threat Intelligence Team has become a strategic necessity for organisations. Organisations are awash with news of the latest threats but often lacking the insights to prioritise defensive and mitigation efforts.

This talk will delve into the critical aspects of building and managing a successful Threat Intelligence Team. We will explore the key roles and responsibilities within the team, the importance of diverse skill sets, and the integration of threat intelligence into the broader security framework. The discussion will also cover the challenges faced in real-time threat detection and response, the value of OSINT and dark web research and how a well-structured team can help maintain a robust and agile security posture. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for team formation, continuous training, and maintaining up-to-date knowledge in the face of an ever-changing threat landscape. The talk aims to equip cybersecurity leaders with practical guidance to enhance their organisation’s threat intelligence capabilities and ultimately improve their resilience against cyber threats.
