The SANS 2021 Top New Attacks and Threat Report is now available for download, covering the security trends and top threats to watch for as the world emerges from the pandemic.

Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs) allow you to gain better intelligence across the threat spectrum from known to unknown attacks and leverage this intelligence to optimize threat detection and response, preemptive blocking, and patch prioritization.

If you’ve been in the security industry for any length of time, you know that there are no “silver bullet” solutions. The same can be said about SOAR tools.

Incidents of ransomware have been increasing and evolving steadily for years as financially motivated adversaries shift tactics when one is no longer profitable. Unfortunately, many organizations haven’t been able to adapt their security operations to keep up.

There’s no doubt that an analyst’s ability to efficiently share curated threat intelligence has a significant impact on the success of their organization’s overall security operations.

When shared the right way with each part of the organization, key stakeholders will see threat intelligence for the business enabler that it is, and the threat intelligence program will gain support and the budget to grow. 

When it comes to strengthening your security operations program, the escalation of cyberattacks over the last few months have shown us there’s no time to waste.

How do you solve the problem of bringing together data from multiple sources, contextualize, prioritize and remove noise?

The acronym stands for Observe, Orient, Decide and Act, and if you can go through this decision cycle faster than your adversary, you can defeat them.

The new SANS 2021 Report, Top Skills Analysts Need to Master analyzes the need for organizations to invest in improving their security operations and identifies the skills analysts must master.

As organizations evolve their security operations and the SOC increasingly focuses on detection and response, three capabilities are foundational for success – threat intelligence, integration and automation.

We all know the security industry mantra: it’s not a matter of if, but when and how we’ll be attacked.

On the heels of announcing the closing of $22.5 million in new financing as a result of strong performance in 2020, I’m proud of our team’s latest innovation that we’re announcing today, ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator.

Organizations are looking to improve their security operations effectiveness, efficiency, and staff satisfaction, with Security, Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR).

The spike in cyber breaches in the past year, compounded by COVID-related attacks, has only increased the importance of cyber threat intelligence (CTI).

The beginning of the year is always full of “bests and worsts” from the prior year, as well as predictions.

March is Women’s History Month and today is International Women’s Day with this year’s theme being “choose to challenge.” At ThreatQuotient, we’re celebrating with a month-long recognition of women in cybersecurity.

As a woman in security, it’s hard not to notice the gender imbalance.
