Abstract: Threat assessment of the people and groups conducting cyber-attacks against organizations is an important part of the risk management process. At a minimum, organizations should gather threat data by participating in information sharing forums. They also need to do a better job of coordinating IT security, physical security, fraud prevention, legal, and compliance groups and disseminating the right information in the right way at the right time. Depending on the risk level and the nature of the business, organizations may also need to organize a dedicated threat assessment team and/or make use of third party threat intelligence, brand protection, and other services. In this presentation, Burton Group Principal Analyst Dan Blum will provide guidance on developing a threat assessment strategy and factoring threat intelligence into protection programs to avoid common mistakes and gain ground against adversaries. Sponsor McAfee will also share how global threat intelligence as applied to web and email security can be an integral part of providing threat protection, protecting your valuable data and enabling compliance.
