4 Ways Machine Learning Produces Actionable Threat Intelligence
4 Ways Machine Learning Produces Actionable Threat Intelligence By Zane Pokorny on September 5, 2018 Key Takeaways Threat intelligence needs to be timely and relevant to be actionable. Unfortunately, producing threat intelligence is a process that does not scale up well for human analysts in the current era of big data.
Threat Actors Remember the Vulnerabilities We Forget
In an industry so concerned with prognostication, it’s common practice to treat the newest vulnerabilities, exploits, and other threats as the ones most urgently needing attention. We talk about zero-day exploits in raised voices and rush to develop expertise in new technologies. Consequently, the result of this future bias is that older vulnerabilities in our systems are often ignored and left unpatched. Many threat actors have no problem with taking an atavistic approach, however.

Fortunately, none of this is accurate.
