An IT Security Manager's Guide to the Threat Intelligence Lifecycle

The role of security manager has rapidly become one of the most important parts of any IT team. With the cost of data breaches and other security incidents rising all the time, it's vital that these professionals have all the tools and resources they need to fight back against the hackers.

To do this effectively, you need to take a proactive approach. Simply relying on endpoint and perimeter security to block threats as they arrive is not enough in today's fast-moving environment.

It's therefore essential you have a full picture of what the current risk landscape looks like, and this means running a full threat intelligence program. This includes all the activities you undertake to gather information about the latest and most relevant risks and distribute this throughout your team, so that the best decisions can be made about your cyber defenses.
