In an evolving threat landscape, cybersecurity must be guided by intelligence, not intuition. This session explores how organisations can harness cyber threat intelligence to identify their most critical risks, understand the threats they are truly facing, and make smarter, risk-aligned security investments.
Instead of over-investing in generic defences, the focus shifts to strategic resilience—prioritising what matters most to the business and its threat profile.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the specific threat actors and tactics targeting your industry to inform smarter defences.
- Align cybersecurity investments with business risk—not just technology trends—to maximise impact.
- Operationalise threat intelligence to make proactive, context-aware security decisions.
