Forward-leaning approach to managing risks. This is how one should think of threat intelligence these days, no longer as a technical niche function that sits in the back of the room and passively collects indicators of compromise. Intelligence should be used to challenge conventional wisdom about what your senior leadership should be concerned about. Intelligence teams should make senior leadership and business stakeholders feel ‘uncomfortable’ about how they think about certain scenarios or the state of their organization’s risk posture. This presentation explores how to fully operationalize and evolve your intelligence program in light of the growing regulatory and organizational focus on operational resilience. In this context, a holistic approach to intelligence is one that goes past structural silos, allowing organizations to anticipate, and prepare for, any type of operational disruption to the business. It will also discuss how to measure the value of your intelligence function.
