Turning Intel into Action: The Evolving Art of Threat-Informed Defense

Threat intelligence is abundant but often underutilized. Many organizations lack the analytic frameworks to translate feeds into proactive defenses or executive insights.

The Threat Intelligence eSummit brings together analysts, vendors, and defenders to demonstrate how to operationalize intelligence across detection, hunting, and response. Attendees will learn how to fuse open-source, commercial, and AI-driven intel to anticipate adversaries — not just react to them.

Agenda

The Official Cybersecurity Summit delivers high-impact sessions designed to help leaders strengthen resilience, protect critical infrastructure, and align security with business goals.

Attendees will gain actionable insights from expert panels, explore cutting-edge solutions, and connect directly with top industry innovators - making this a can’t-miss agenda for CISOs and security executives.

11:35-12:20
Panel 1: From Feeds to Frameworks: Building a Threat Intel Program That Drives Decisions

Most orgs don’t have an intelligence shortage—they have a translation problem. This panel focuses on the operating model behind threat-informed defense: defining intelligence requirements, choosing the right frameworks (e.g., adversary TTPs, kill chain thinking, MITRE ATT&CK mapping), and producing outputs different stakeholders can actually use. Panelists will share how to move beyond “IOC dumps” to insights that influence priorities, budgets, and control design—without turning the intel team into a reporting factory.


12:20-12:40
Lunch Break
12:40-1:25
Panel 2: Operationalizing Intel: Detection Engineering, Hunting, and Purple Teaming with Adversary TTPs

Intelligence becomes valuable when it changes defensive behavior: new detections, smarter hunts, faster triage, and better readiness for the adversaries most likely to target you. This panel shows how to operationalize intel into security operations—turning adversary behaviors into detection logic, producing hunt hypotheses, designing purple-team exercises, and validating coverage gaps. Panelists will discuss practical workflows, how to avoid “IOC whack-a-mole,” and how to keep intel-driven security improvements continuous.


1:35-2:20
Panel 3: AI and Intel: Acceleration, Attribution Pitfalls, and Trustworthy Analysis

AI can accelerate collection, clustering, summarization, and correlation—but it can also amplify errors, overconfident attribution, and misinformation at scale. This panel explores how analysts can use AI responsibly: automating triage, extracting entities and relationships, mapping to TTPs, and generating tailored outputs for different audiences—while maintaining analytic rigor. Panelists will cover validation techniques, sourcing discipline, handling deception, and building human-in-the-loop workflows so AI strengthens intel instead of weakening trust.
