Becoming a cyber-criminal has never been easier. The threats are only accelerating as new attackers find a low cost of entry and a high probability of success to be the norm. Add to this mix, the increasing complexity of a completely interconnected world where security and IT professionals already lack the time and resources to successfully identify and stop threats that are occurring, are overwhelmed by the fragmented and multiple security tools that are failing to protect them, finding it harder and harder to control the number and types of applications that introduce risk to their network, or even to regularly maintain their environments in a way that reduces the likelihood of being exploited. Most of us have finally realized, that we have already been compromised and are in a constant state of clean-up. In this talk, we will look at how threat intelligence and enterprise visibility becomes the cornerstone for integrating your security technologies, automating your security practice where it makes sense for your environment, and improving the business outcome of your security program.
