About the Speaker
Jaya Baloo | CISO
Talk
When she last spoke at this event in 2022, former KPN CISO, now CISO with Rapid7, Jaya Baloo, told the TTIS audience that the threat intelligence model was “broken”. She said we needed to be “a bit more choosey” about who we share threat intel with, do a better job of “finding the right friends” and focus on satisfying more specific use cases. Jaya will share what progress we’ve made against these metrics and what more needs to be done.
