Please join the ISAO Standards Organization (ISAO SO) for a FREE webinar on Wednesday, May 23, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. CT, for a Technical Spotlight on how to “Optimize Threat Intelligence into Your Security Workflow”! The Technical Spotlight will provide guidance on how to operationalize ISAO threat intelligence feeds so that analysts can spend less time doing data entry, and more time investigating threats.
Attendees can expect to leave the webinar with three key takeaways:
- Obtaining five actionable steps on how to optimize threat intelligence into their security operations workflow;
- Learning new investigation tactics that use ISAO data to help prioritize events and push them into their security information and event management system (SIEM);
- Previewing analyst workflow use cases within the R-CISC TruSTAR platform.
The webinar will be presented by Tommy McDowell, senior director at the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center (R-CISC), and Patrick Coughlin, co-founder and COO of TruSTAR.
