The crunch of a chip is a tiny sonic boom inside your mouth.

Certain people cross our paths for a certain amount of time, then, well, they don’t. You just don’t see them anymore. For whatever reason. Is the reason really that important, whatever it is? Relationships are complex things, and trying to figure out why they work or don’t work can be a daunting and damn-near impossible task. All you can really do is take the good from them and move on. Who’s to say if they’ll ever be again or not. Why close the door completely on anyone?

In the cyber environment, we must assume adversaries are already inside the perimeter, and we must constantly hunt them on our networks to identify and mitigate their actions. We cannot stand by and wait for them to trip an alarm as they shake the proverbial fence, because sophisticated adversaries jump over the fence, bypassing the intrusion detection “alarm” entirely. Hunting necessitates us acquiring a better site picture of the adversaries…what assets are they targeting, what techniques are they employing, why are they here and who, exactly, are they? This is where intelligence sharing is critical. Companies can use advanced analytical technology to share actionable intelligence, enabling them to correlate data, learn the human aspects of the attack, become more predictive and identify them early enough in the attack cycle to prevent serious consequences.
