Description
Session Description:
 
Many of us review the latest threat intelligence - vetted and attributed lists of known bad IPs and summaries of the latest malware and attack vectors. Drawing on an automobile analogy, a lot of this information is like looking in the rear view mirror. Although its accurate and useful, much of it has already happened and is behind you. But don't you need to know what's in the lanes on either side of you? In this session you will learn about how a group of dedicated government security leaders formed the Colorado Threat Information Sharing (CTIS) initiative.
 
 
Learner Objectives
After completing this session, the learner will understand:
- Why sharing emerging threat intelligence is important
- Technologies that can be levered
- Lessons learned from our efforts
- Pros and cons of sharing early threat information
- How you might form a similar forum for your business
