In this episode, we talk about:
[01:19] The definition and purpose of threat intelligence
[03:01] Threat intelligence doesn’t have to factor into your scope and context – you can integrate findings in later
[03:50] Threat intelligence is about being aware of not only internal threats, but global threats that could impact your business
[04:50] Threat intelligence is not only about IT (i.e. viruses)
[05:19] That being said – cyber threats are still a big factor. So ensure you have tools, training and measures in place to reduce cyber attacks and breaches.
[06:30] Types of Threat intelligence, including: Cyber, Strategic and Tactical
[07:58] What threat intelligence actually does – Firstly ensure that you are collecting relevant data. That data can be analysed and used to reduce risk, to help you be proactive instead of reactive to threats.
[09:51] Threat intelligence is very appliable to Business Continuity (ISO 22301)
[10:35] The different types of tools you could consider, including: Security information and event management (SIEM) and CSOC – Cyber Security Operation Centres
[12:30] Types of threat intelligence activities you can do. This includes: Establishing objectives, collection of information from selected sources, analysing information to understand how it relates and is meaningful to the business and communicating information to relevant individuals.
[15:10] Ensure your threat intelligence is dynamic – and use it to inform and update your Risk Assessments at regular intervals
[16:30] Threat intelligence works with the Plan-Do-Act-Check cycle that is commonly seen in most ISO’s
[17:10] Threat intelligence can be used by any business regardless of any ISO certification you may or may not have.
