In episode 82 of the Cybersecurity Minute, Rob Wood talks about strategic threat intelligence and how it helps cybersecurity teams prepare for the future.
Highlights
00:23 — Strategic threat intelligence is more forward-thinking and bigger-picture than the usual tactics that are needed to block known or upcoming threats, such as IOCs (indicators of compromise) and Yara rules.
01:07 — Understanding where threats are headed over the next five years and adapting your organization’s strategy accordingly is crucial. Do you have the workforce in place to accommodate and prepare for what is coming? Do you have the technology and the underlying foundations?
01:46 — As security leaders, we have a responsibility and an opportunity to engage proactively with our senior leadership team to ensure that we have the necessary resources, technology, and alignment in place.
02:52 — To start having these conversations, Rob encourages people to do some research on the threats and risks (which may include generative AI) that may be coming in the next three to five years and find a senior leader to have an honest discussion with about whether they are prepared to deal with them.
