Intelligence Driven Defense: Successfully Embedding Cyber Threat Intel in Security Operations
Being able to tell a compelling story that can answer key questions like: who is attacking us, what is their motivation, were they here before, how do they operate, what is the impact to our business, and will they come back, should be one of the ultimate goals of any effective blue team.
