sans.org/dfirsummit Two useful disciplines are cyber threat intelligence and active cyber defense. However, there is confusion around both of these areas that leads to a perception of hype and cost instead of vital tools for defenders to use. In the case of threat intelligence, many security companies have offered a range of threat intelligence products and feeds but there is confusion in the community as a whole as to how to maximize the value out threat intelligence. With active defense, there has been an attempt to brand this strategy as a hack-back or otherwise offense based practice whereas the strategy for an active defense has existed long before the word ‘cyber’ and is focused around practices such as incident response. This presentation will examine the current state of cyber threat intelligence and active cyber defense as well as provide strategies for leveraging proven cyber intelligence models within active cyber defense operations Speakers: Robert M.
