EDITOR’S QUESTION
To maximise effectiveness, SOCs need
to constantly review various threat
intelligence sources – along with peer-
submitted indicators of compromise – for
information about new attacker campaigns
and techniques.
Organisations therefore need to enlist the
services of security vendors that have these
capabilities and are able to use this intel to
improve their offerings. Security vendors
such as Mimecast are helping organisations
adapt both by providing third-party threat
intelligence, as well as continually assessing
and deploying leading technologies.
In addition, Mimecast assists by conducting
ongoing threat analysis and delivering inline
user education based on data collected from
user habits to help employees continually
stay more cyber-aware and guarded.
No proprietary technology is infallible today
and as hackers become more innovative
and dynamic, needs must constantly evolve
and grow.
This can be achieved by implementing
a layered approach to mitigate risk.
By monitoring historical data, sharing
data with the broader ecosystem and
analysing threats, organisations can detect
and react more quickly and holistically
against attacker campaigns which may be
targeting them.
