UK Cybersecurity: It’s Time to Get Serious About Threat Hunting!
UK organizations need to boost observability and threat hunting skills, says the NCSC. CTO Ollie Whitehouse insists these are key for spotting cyber threats. Remember, you can’t hunt what you can’t see! From maximizing system visibility to moving beyond simple indicators of compromise, it’s time to mature threat hunting practices.
Hot Take:
It seems the UK is getting serious about cyber threats, and rightfully so! With a call to arms for better observability and threat hunting, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is basically telling organizations it’s time to upgrade from a magnifying glass to the Sherlock Holmes hat and pipe combo. Move over, cybercriminals, the British are coming, and they’re armed with better visibility and a whole lot of sass.
Key Points:
– NCSC emphasizes the need for improved observability and threat hunting in UK organizations.
– Ollie Whitehouse highlights significant variations in these capabilities across sectors.
– Comprehensive visibility and advanced analytics are crucial for effective threat hunting.
– Organizations should focus on TTPs over IOCs for more effective threat detection.
