Updating the Lexicon: Sharing Threat Intelligence to Non-technical Audiences
There’s a lot more to sharing threat intelligence with customers than just dumping technical IoCs on them. With increasing pressure to improve from regulators, telcos should be including many more types of information than technical IOCs in their approach to threat intel sharing. At the same time, they need to get better at targeting only relevant information to unique customer segments. This talk will provide a framework for reconciling these two critical objectives while also living up to the letter and spirit of regulators’ expectations
Michael Daniel serves as the President & CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA), a not-for-profit that enables high-quality cyber threat information sharing among cybersecurity organizations. Prior to CTA, Michael served for four years as US Cybersecurity Coordinator, leading US cybersecurity policy development, overseeing US government partnerships with the private sector and other nations, and managing significant incident response activities.
From 1995 to 2012, Michael worked for the Office of Management and Budget, overseeing the U.S. Intelligence Community. Michael also works with the Aspen Cyber Group, the World Economic Forum, and other organizations improving cybersecurity in the digital ecosystem. In his spare time, he enjoys running and martial arts.
