What Makes a Security Rating? Deep Dive Into Threat Data Feeds

Two seasoned cybersecurity professionals will discuss the breadth of cybersecurity in today's financial institutions, how this critical defence function operates, and what attributes a cybersecurity professional might need, to be successful in this field. They will also explore some of the recent major cybersecurity incidents from around the globe, and then talk about cybersecurity within HSBC itself.

The growing threat landscape for operational technology (OT) networks, exemplified by a number of recent ransomware attacks, has prompted critical infrastructure organizations to better prepare themselves for impactful cyber incidents. To do this, stakeholders responsible for critical infrastructure and services are maturing their security operations centers (SOCs) and increasing their use of cyber threat intelligence (CTI). Many now consider adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) to be their most valuable CTI tool.

Everyone knows security is overloaded work wise – not everyone understands what that means. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is typically very technical so how can you convince the teams setting business objectives and allocating resources (for budget) of what the cybersecurity priorities should be? A modern CTI program needs to show value to the business because it will help solve some of the major problems we’re seeing in TI programs today (such as lack of resources or lack of data). Part of this includes bridging the gap between threat and risk to ensure your operational strategy aligns with the overall business objectives.
