Threat Intel and The Art of War – Why Knowing Yourself Isn’t Enough – by Matt Russell
Topic Abstract: In Sun Tzu’s seminal work The Art of War, he famously states that “If you know yourself and you know your enemy, then from 100 battles comes 100 victories.” In today’s world, security organizations continue to gain increased knowledge and insight into their own networks and environments, but we often lag behind in our understanding of the enemy. In this talk we will discuss both the strategic and technical application of threat intelligence and why it is no longer a “nice to have” commodity in a modern security organization.
