We’re fortunate to have a depth and breadth of cybersecurity expertise here at ThreatQuotient, and through our partner network. And we take great pride in sharing that expertise with you in the form of high-quality, informative webinars throughout the year. In 2021, we covered a lot of important topics and wanted to make sure you didn’t miss our top five webinars for the year. Scan the overviews below and click on the links to watch those that capture your attention.

The purpose of the Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team is to understand the cyber threat environment and communicate intelligence so that the organisation can make better decisions about lowering cyber risk. Decision stakeholders can be people or systems therefore the information, and the way it is communicated, needs to be tailored to each user.

Military general and philosopher Sun Tzu once led the largest armies in the world and authored The Art of War, still considered a masterpiece of tactical warfare and very relevant as we wage our battles against evolving cyberattacks. That’s because even though threat intelligence is a relatively new discipline in our cyber defense processes, it has actually been around for more than 2,500 years.

Proper management of threat data is critical in today’s security operations and modern SOCs. The knowledge of threats, their priority in our environment, their management, and the ability to analyze them, will give us anticipatory capabilities we wouldn’t have without this management.

Last week, we announced v5 of the ThreatQ platform with capabilities needed today to support the security operations center (SOC) of the future. SOCs have been maturing and evolving into detection and response organizations, a transformation that Gartner anticipated back in 2013 and deemed a requirement for this decade. I’m proud that ThreatQuotient has consistently been at the forefront of innovating and delivering what the SOC of the future needs.

In a previous blog I reviewed the foundational use case for a TIP, which is threat intelligence management—the practice of aggregating, analyzing, enriching and de-duplicating internal and external threat data in order to understand threats to your environment and share that data with a range of systems and users. However, one of the unique benefits of the ThreatQ Platform and where organizations are deriving additional business value, is that it also allows you to address other use cases.

With thousands of tools and technologies to choose from, navigating through cybersecurity categories and technologies to find a solution that meets your organization’s needs can be challenging. The annual Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards program helps you solve that problem by aiming to perform the most comprehensive evaluation of cybersecurity companies and solutions on the market today and recognizing the leaders.

As we wrap up Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2021, this week’s theme, Cybersecurity First, is all about making security a priority. To do this, many security operations teams are leaning into threat intelligence to understand specifically where and how to focus their efforts to better protect their organizations.
