Make smarter, faster decisions by combining threat intelligence and orchestration
Today, automation and orchestration are at the forefront of enabling security teams and tools to be more efficient than ever. What’s often overlooked is the importance of continuing to improve upon these processes. By introducing intelligence into the equation, you’re able to make automated workflows and processes continuously smarter. Intelligence can come in a variety of forms, but mostly it is seen from external threat intelligence data feeds and from information collected from your own internal tools. Using this information to influence your actions will enable a feedback loop and promote continuous improvement.
Intelligence-driven orchestration is data first; security orchestration is action first. When your threat intelligence is stored in a data model you’re familiar with and assigned appropriate threat scores to understand severity and relevance, you can set your processes to automatically adjust if the threat landscape changes.
Situational awareness and historical context is key to decision-making. Working directly from threat intelligence allows you to work quicker and prevent attacks before they happen. The more you can automate up front, the more proactive you can be. By eliminating false positives and using validated intelligence you are increasing the accuracy of the actions taken. This accuracy leads to confidence and improves speed and precision.
When you automate tasks based on threat intelligence thresholds such as indicator scores, and memorialize all of that information, you can strategically look at your processes to determine how to improve.
