Asking around: When does ransomware threat intelligence become noise?

"You really have to filter out the information based on the market segment that you're in. Understanding the asset inventory in an environment can actually help filter out a lot of the alerts and a lot of the noise that comes in."

"What a lot of organizations will do is they will buy a threat intelligence feed-something to help, maybe, enrich their SOC alerts, and then they'll have that data coming in and they won't know what to do with it."

"When you're talking about threat intelligence, historically, it would be a feed of IOCs. Now a lot of it is based on curated reports. So, there's a lot of private reporting that you're potentially reading."

Organizations often struggle with excessive threat intelligence data, leading to confusion about which alerts to prioritize. Experts recommend focusing on understanding the specific threats targeting their sector and filtering out irrelevant information. Conducting an asset inventory can help organizations identify which alerts are pertinent, reducing noise from unrelated threats. This approach allows teams to concentrate on actionable intelligence and improve their security posture by aligning defenses with the tactics of threat actors relevant to their industry.
