According to new research published by ESG, security analytics and operations becomes more difficult annually. Why?

Many organizations are understaffed and lack the right skills while cyber-adversaries become increasingly sophisticated and stealthy, launching targeted attacks and stealing data from victim organizations. The research also indicates that many organizations continue to have profound weaknesses when it comes to understanding and operationalizing threat intelligence. Why is this the case and what are leading organizations doing to overcome these challenges and put cyber-threat intelligence (CTI) to work for them?

Join ESG Senior Principal Analyst and research report author, Jon Oltsik, and ThreatQuotient’s, Jonathan Couch, Senior Vice President of Strategy as they analyze the research and recommend beneficial CTI best practices based upon the examples of leading practitioners in this area.
