From Reactive to Proactive: Leveraging NIST for Improved Threat Detection and Response

Amid the constant evolution of cyber threats, security leaders are under pressure to do more with less and strengthen their security programs while navigating the complexities of regulatory compliance.

This is why many organizations choose to align their cybersecurity programs with a recognized security framework such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), which equips organizations of all sizes and sectors with standards and best practices for managing and mitigating cyber risk.

By mapping your cybersecurity strategy to the NIST CSF, you can enhance your organization's ability to prioritize security investments, reduce cyber risk, and prevent business disruption.

In this session, Derek Thomas, Director, Tactical Threat Response, will dive into two of the five NIST CSF core functions – Detect and Respond – and discuss how our proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunts help your business comply with NIST CSF Detect and Respond requirements.

Key areas of discussion include:

• Why operationalizing threat hunting is important to create a systematic and proactive approach to threat detection and response.
• How the outcomes of each phase of the “Global Threat Framework” supports the Detect and Respond functions, and how our Threat Response Unit (TRU) puts them into practice for proactive threat hunting and 24/7 threat detection and response.
• Challenges in implementing a Threat Detection and Response program, including expertise, visibility, and response.
• Recommendations on how your organization can leverage proactive threat hunting and multi-signal Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to improve your ability to detect and respond to cyber threats.
