In recent years, both public and private organizations have found themselves caught in a seemingly endless battle with cybercriminals. There is certainly no shortage of media reports about small groups of malicious actors stealing millions of dollars through various fraud schemes and cyber attacks. In the past week alone, the WannaCry ransomware attack struck businesses around the world and dominated global headlines.
From this chaos we have seen an interesting solution emerge: Private companies are increasingly turning to people, processes and technologies from the intelligence community in order to grapple with an ever more sophisticated threat landscape.
In this podcast, IBM’s Bob Stasio discusses the intelligence-led security trend with special guests Mark D. Young, Senior Vice President at IronNet Cybersecurity, and Mike McCracken, Senior Intelligence Analyst and Solution Architect at IBM Security.
