Security News > 2021 > August > Winning the Cyber-Defense Race: Understand the Finish Line
Thus, security teams often place focus on the race itself and forget about the actual goal or finish line.
For example: "Our mission is to continuously improve the organization's security posture by preventing, detecting, analyzing and responding to cybersecurity incidents." It is missing the finish line.
The finish line is the business' ability to continue to operate in the face of threats.
Threat intelligence provides critical information on the cyber-landscape and active adversaries that shape threat profiles and unveil vulnerabilities in an organization, along with the likelihood of compromise and its potential impact to the business.
Now that we understand the race, we have new shoes, are standing at the starting line and know where to find the finish line, now we can activate the racer.
Whatever hurdles the industry faces, knowing where the starting line is, focusing on the finish line and using threat intelligence as the power behind the runner provides the best chance of winning the race.
