In episode 85 of the Cybersecurity Minute, Frank Domizio discusses how cyber threat intelligence can change businesses for the better, using a data breach at Target as an example.
Highlights
00:41 — Cyber threat intelligence is the practice of gathering and analyzing information about potential cyber threats. By detecting and responding to these threats before they can cause any damage, cyber threat intelligence can help organizations stay one step ahead of the bad guys.
01:09 — A few years ago, Target experienced a massive data breach that resulted in the theft of millions of customer records, including credit card numbers, names, and addresses. There’s a strong possibility the breach could have been prevented if Target had better cyber threat intelligence.
01:49 — After the breach, Target invested heavily in cyber threat intelligence and incident response. It implemented new security policies and procedures and invested in new technologies to monitor its systems for potential threats. And its new strategies worked.
02:19 — Now Frank knows what you’re thinking —that’s great for Target, but you don’t have the resources of a company like that. Here’s the thing. Cyber threat intelligence doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. There are plenty of affordable tools and technologies available.
02:52 — If you’re not taking cyber threat intelligence seriously, it’s time to start. By investing in the right people, processes, and technologies, you can ensure your organization is protected.
