WHEN: 4:15-4:55 p.m. PDT

“Cyber criminals are innovating much faster and delivering many more sophisticated attacks; as a result, threat intelligence has gained significant importance in the ever-changing threat landscape,” said Njemanze. “However, there is still much confusion about what threat intelligence is, how it’s consumed, and how to best utilize all the aggregated data. In this panel discussion, we’ll talk about the progress of threat intelligence technology, including its adoption and how we can make it a more effective tool for organizations.”

Title: "Deploying, Managing and Leveraging Honeypots in the Enterprise Using Open-Source Tools”
TOPIC: An overview of the current state-of-the-art of leveraging open-source tools to build a novel intrusion-detection system inside the enterprise.
