Chapter 8: Industrial Threat Intelligence
Now that our security monitoring tools are installed, we will start looking at ways we can expand their functionality and extend their capabilities. While in the next chapter, Chapter 9, Visualizing, Correlating, and Alerting, we will look at ways to add visibility, more detailed information, and generally better threat detection functionality, in this chapter, we will discuss the tools, techniques, and activities that allow us to add threat intelligence to our security monitoring programs. Threat intelligence adds confidence of existence, likelihood of compromise, and feasibility of exploitation to our security monitoring solutions by correlating found security monitoring artifacts (such as URLs, IP addresses, and file hashes) to known threat information (indicators of compromise) in a way that makes the resulting information relevant and actionable for our environment.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
