Title: 10 Threat Intelligence Goals for Financial Institutions
Date: Wednesday, February 11, 2015

The introduction of the internet and online banking has had a dramatic impact on the financial services industry. Prior to the web, it was easy for financial organizations to secure information but difficult to reach customers. Today, ease of use is a major competitive factor, and any organization with an eye towards growth is using the web for customer transactions and engagement.
Financial organizations’ infrastructures, too, are connected to the internet–and to third-party partners’ internet-connected infrastructures–leaving everyone more vulnerable to more risks than ever before. Like other industries, financial systems that previously had very defined perimeters are now perimeter-less. With the stakes so high, the finance industry has had to look for new, proactive ways to protect their systems and the information contained within them.
It’s not enough to just implement new controls and technologies around the systems, though; smart organizations are dedicating teams to look in the deep crevices of the web for detailed information on threats to their environments. World news and events, potentially controversial company announcements, new executive appointments, industry and partner breaches, industry-specific malware — all of these and more can indicate a risk, and analysts need to find the intelligence that must be acted upon to protect the company and its customers.
The wealth and scope of available information can be overwhelming for intelligence analysts, however. While in the past actionable and credible threat intelligence could be elusive, now information can be found online anywhere, at any time, in any language. With the volume of information and limited resources and budgets, organizations need to be strategic in their intelligence gathering.
But how can your company’s analysts sort through the noise to find the right threat intelligence?
During a live webinar, Russell Pierce, Vice President of Cyber Security and Threat Intelligence at Regions Financial Corporation, will share how his organization uses Recorded Future as part of its comprehensive cyber security program. By applying real-time threat intelligence from the open web to improve defenses against cyber threats, Regions has been able to:
- Navigate from intelligence objectives to intelligent decisions.
- Apply open source intelligence (OSINT) to better prioritize threats.
- Save time and money by strategically focus threat intelligence capabilities.
Join Mr. Pierce and Recorded Future on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at 12:00 PM ET to learn how one financial institution has been able to combat the changing and more complex nature of cyber threats against the industry through identification of emerging indicators.
