Director of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Tidal Cyber
Scott Small is a security & intelligence practitioner and expert in cyber threat intelligence & threat modeling, open source research & investigations, and data analysis & automation. He serves as Director of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Tidal Cyber. Scott has advised enterprise and public sector security teams across maturity levels on technical and strategic applications of intelligence and on using technology to help identify and mitigate organizational risk.
Throughout his career, he has briefed and trained large and small audiences and has presented original content at major security conferences, including DEF CON (s/o Adversary Village!), FIRSTCON, MITRE ATT&CKcon, & BSides, and ISAC & other industry events.
The term “threat-informed defense” has gained recent popularity, but what does it actually look like in practice? This session will provide highly practical tips & guidance for members of virtually any security team – regardless of size or maturity level – to help kickstart (or advance) their threat-informed journey.
We will walk through a realistic workflow and illustrate how analysts can gather & process intelligence on key current threats (top infostealer malware), identify defensive gaps, and close those gaps with new detections & security tests, relying entirely on publicly available resources. The host anticipates attendees will walk away with a renewed appreciation for a threat-informed approach to security, and maybe even inspiration for their next work sprint or side project!
