Overview

Watch this webinar to uncover the responsibilities of a modern cyber threat intelligence team (CTI), how to elevate the use of threat intelligence in your security team, and the questions you must ask when selecting a cybersecurity partner.

The role of threat intelligence has never been more important – or more challenging. As the barrage of sophisticated cyberattacks grows, so too does the need for technology to help you keep pace. In this webinar, Searchlight Cyber’s Director of Threat Intelligence, Jim Simpson banishes the common misconceptions of what a cyber threat intelligence (CTI) team does, outlines its core responsibilities, and shares how you can elevate the use of threat intelligence in your security team – to ensure the intel you gather is meeting your company’s cybersecurity requirements (and delivering a return).
