The cybersecurity industry has talked about the value of sharing threat intelligence for a long time. However, whether in terms of manual or automated sharing, putting shared threat intelligence to work effectively has proven a much harder task than many initially envisioned. Yet, with the volume of global web traffic increasing year-on-year, the challenge of threat detection, mitigation, and resolution has grown commensurately, and the job of protecting consumers and clients is both more challenging and more critical. Many companies have realized that they can't effectively achieve their mission without shared intelligence. As a result, sharing threat intelligence, and finding innovative ways to leverage that sharing to create stronger and more agile defences, has never been more important. This session will explore the experiences of several major industry players in sharing threat data, and will dig into how that sharing of data has been operationalized to protect end-users across the industry as a whole.
