The Primacy of Resiliency: Why (Most) Orgs Shouldn’t Focus on Threats

Over the past decade, attribution has become both harder and less relevant. Tools and tactics are shared and stolen across attackers, blurring the lines between one adversary and the next. At the same time, the speed of attacks has increased, allowing defenders less and less time to use knowledge of the attackers to their advantage. And when planning their defenses, defenders can’t afford to tailor their approach according to what yesterday’s adversaries did last week. Attribution matters, but to the average organization, it doesn’t matter nearly as much as resiliency. Based on over two decades of cyber experience spent at places like Mandiant, CISA, and the White House, Rex will explain when the threat matters and when you’re better off focusing elsewhere. By attending this live broadcast, you'll learn: · The potential and limitations of threat-based intelligence to shape your defensive strategy · Select use cases for the operationalization of threat intelligence · Why focusing on foundational security elements is a better spend of your limited resources
