Description
Session Description:
This session will present a methodology for pairing proven industry frameworks with threat modeling practices to quickly detect and respond to cyber threats. With threat models, an organization can slice its infrastructure into smaller components, making it easier to secure assets and minimize the attack surface. Attendees will learn how to make the most out of threat intelligence feeds, report on progress, and negotiate trust relationships in the intelligence sharing cycle, while improving their organization's overall security posture.
Learner Objectives
After completing this session, learner will:
- Understand the fundamentals and methodologies of threat modeling
- Learn how to make threat intelligence actionable, reduce "noise," and map attackers' behavior to proper security controls
- Learn how to measure threat-sharing effectiveness and report on progress
- Learn how to negotiate trust relationships in the intelligence sharing cycle
