Every five to ten years, major technology shifts change the way that vulnerability assessment and the related IT risk mitigation processes are approached or implemented. What has remained constant is the formula we use to measure risk and thus prioritize and triage vulnerabilities. Risk = (Likelihood of event) * (Impact of consequences) It’s an approach that intuitively makes sense, but there have been two challenges with how this formula has been applied.

In 2016, Ivan Fontarensky, Technical Director CyberDetect & Respond at Thales, wanted to rollout a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) service to continue to add value to the company’s cybersecurity products used by critical infrastructure organizations around the globe.

We hear a lot about the cybersecurity skills gap, which the latest research puts at 770,000 open positions in the U.S. and 3.4 million globally. There are lots of reasons why organizations find themselves dealing with a skills deficit – from an actual dearth of qualified talent to internal factors including turnover, lack of budget/competitive wages, limited opportunities for growth and promotion, and lack of training.

Coping with limited resources is a common challenge for security operations teams. Whether it’s due to budget constraints, staffing shortages, or other factors, security teams often need to find ways to do more with less. Let’s talk about some strategies we can use to achieve success in this environment.

We’ve come a long way since ThreatQ v4 and our own Jay Allmond, UK Threat Intelligence Engineer at ThreatQuotient, recently shared the details during a hands-on webinar that’s now available on-demand. In this 30-minute session that as Jay says, “is light on PowerPoint and heavy on nerdy stuff”, we review the basics of the ThreatQ Platform and dive deep into some of the newest capabilities.

Dave Krasik, Director of Product Management at ThreatQuotient, recently had a chance to speak with Ed Amoroso, CEO and founder of TAG Cyber, a leading cybersecurity advisory group, about the state of cybersecurity automation. They covered a lot of ground, and you can listen to the full interview here. Following are a few of the highlights.

These days it is not uncommon to see large companies trying to make do with less, which often means trying to maintain the same amount of output with less manpower. Working efficiently to improve a product while battling engineer burnout in parallel has never been more crucial.
