LogRhythm CTO & Co-Founder, Former Federal Cybersecurity Officials Discuss New Security Intelligence Maturity Model to Detect and Respond to Advanced Threats

A mature security intelligence posture can help organizations improve resiliency and respond quickly to advanced cyber threats, potentially avoiding loss. This is the main theme of an SC Magazine-hosted panel discussion webinar, sponsored by LogRhythm, The Security Intelligence Company, titled, "Surfacing High-Impact Cyber Threats via Security Intelligence: A Reference Model for IT Security Practitioners."

In this webinar, Sameer Bhalotra, former White House senior director for cybersecurity, Robert F. Lentz, former CISO for the U.S. Department of Defense and Chris Petersen, CTO & Co-Founder of LogRhythm, will discuss today's evolving cyber threat landscape and LogRhythm's Security Intelligence Maturity Model™. They will explore how the model provides organizations with a framework to plan for continuous reduction in their mean-time-to-detect (MTTD™) and mean-time-to-respond (MTTR™) to high-impact threats.

Improved security intelligence is one of the significant investments an organization can make toward reducing its risk of experiencing a high-impact breach. The Security Intelligence framework is designed to help organizations assess their current state of resiliency and establish a plan to continuously improve their security intelligence posture. Organizations that adopt a strategy to significantly reduce MTTD and MTTR will be better positioned to withstand today's increasingly hostile cyber landscape.

The rapidly expanding supply chain supporting the cybercrime economy is empowering cyber criminals, cyber terrorists and even nation states in ways that put companies, critical infrastructure and governments at increased risk. The fate of an organization whose defenses have been compromised will be influenced by the speed with which they can detect and respond to intruders.

Issues that will be covered by the panelists in this webinar include:

• Emerging cyber threat vectors in 2015
• Security Intelligence and the critical role it plays in addressing high-impact threats
• Using the Security Intelligence Maturity Model to assess an organization's current state of resiliency
• How to move from "greatly exposed" to "highly resilient" via End-to-End Threat Lifecycle Management

"The significant and successful cyber events of 2014 might well prove to be the cyber tipping point, where businesses and governments together finally acknowledge the fragility of their enterprises, the grave threat to national and economic security and the need for executive-level oversight," said Lentz.

"The way to bring visibility to the most important threats while clearing the fog of noise is with Security Intelligence," said Petersen. "Security Intelligence delivers the right information, at the right time, with the appropriate context, to significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to detect and respond to damaging cyber threats."

"The time has come for CEOs and Boards to take personal responsibility for improving their companies' cyber security. Global payment systems, private customer data, critical control systems and core intellectual property are all at risk today," said Bhalotra. "As cyber criminals step up their game, government regulators get more involved, litigators and courts wade in deeper and the public learns more about cyber risks, corporate leaders will have to step up accordingly."
