Threat intelligence has become the latest requirement for organizations looking to bolster their security practices. Buy a feed or three, suck them into your SIEM, automate blocking IOCs, and check the box. And in many ways, that addresses a sizable chunk of the tactical and operational value of threat intel. However, a growing number of organizations are realizing that threat intel can also inform strategy: how and why we train our users, where we should be investing our security resources, and what kinds of conversations executive leadership should actually be having to avoid becoming the latest cautionary tale used to sell more feeds. Join Proofpoint to learn about the increasingly strategic role of threat intelligence modern businesses.
