The Importance of Threat Intel and Adversary Knowledge to Prioritize Risks

Title: The Importance of Threat Intel and Adversary Knowledge to Prioritize Risks

Presenters: Brian Contos, CISO & VP Technology Innovation, Mandiant Security Validation

Date: On-Demand

Abstract:

Part 1 | Move Beyond Attack Simulation to Validate Security Effectiveness

With the rise of costly ransomware and malware attacks, security professionals are under pressure to continuously prove the value of security to business leadership. A common approach has been Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) which is widely believed to provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s cybersecurity posture. But it falls short in many ways. True security validation requires a specific set of capabilities to generate the evidence needed to bolster cyber defenses, justify security investments, and minimize risk – capabilities that BAS can’t deliver.

In this webinar series, we’ll outline the critical requirements of security validation, and present important considerations for evaluating traditional BAS versus a security validation platform.
