The cybersecurity community is evolving from a fortress mentality of “network defense” to a “threat-informed defense” approach. Over the last decade, the U.S. military has been at the forefront in this transition, first in the intelligence-operations bond that developed between analysts and warfighters during the conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq and against al-Qaeda, and then in cybersecurity.
Traditionally in cybersecurity, blue team defenders focused on correcting misconfigurations, administering patches, and deploying commercial products. Red teams were smaller and testing occurred periodically and not at the requisite scale to validate the blue team’s defense effectiveness. If blue teams fail to orient towards the most important threats, resources are often wasted; absent effective testing, security controls likely fail.
Join experts from AttackIQ and Iron Bow to discuss the three lessons that emerged from the evolution of threat-informed defense. It is important to:
- Understand the adversary’s approach
- Identify valuable data and defense capabilities
- Build tight bonds between teams to focus on known threats and test your defenses
Speakers:
- Jonathan Reiber, Senior Director, Cybersecurity Strategy and Policy, AttackIQ
- Ben Opel, Director, Customer Success, AttackIQ
- Rob Chee, Technical Director, Security Practice, Iron Bow
- John Trojanowski, Cyber Specialist, Iron Bow
