In today’s interconnected world, traditionally reactive security measures are no longer sufficient to protect against sophisticated attacks. Threat intelligence provides a proactive approach to cybersecurity, enabling organisations to identify, understand, and neutralise threats before they cause damage. This presentation will delve into the key components of threat intelligence, including detection, investigation, protection, and response. Attendees will gain insights into how to effectively integrate threat intelligence to enhance their organisation’s overall cybersecurity posture. 

• The role of threat intelligence in Proactive Security: leveraging threat intelligence to transform to anticipate and prevent attacks rather than merely responding to them 
• Detecting and identifying evolving threats: advanced threat detection techniques to uncover hidden threats and suspicious activities within your network 
• Evolving threat indicators that identify and classify potential threats 
• Investigating and analysing threat intelligence: the nature, motivations, and tactics of threat actors 
• Learn how to extract actionable information from threat intelligence data 
• Effective mitigation strategies based on threat intelligence to safeguard your organisation’s critical assets and sensitive data 
• The use of threat intelligence feeds to enhance security controls and prevent breaches 
• Strategies to improve post-incident recovery efforts
