Now, more than ever, information security practitioners are expected to continually balance strategies for addressing a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape against the need to meet business objectives with limited disruption. Risk management teams are critical in helping business leaders understand the organization’s risk exposure and build effective mitigation strategies by identifying, assessing, and applying controls to key risks. Though the two functions are generally separate organizationally, cyber risk management shares many strategic and operational similarities with cyber threat intelligence (CTI). Enterprise risk cannot be effectively assessed without an informed understanding of threats facing the organization. Likewise, intelligence collection strategies should be informed by the organization’s approach to risk mitigation.
This session will focus on commonality between cyber risk management and CTI and will highlight key benefits and organizational outcomes that can be achieved through a deeper collaboration between the two related functions.
