Today we kicked off Predict21: The Intelligence Summit, Recorded Future’s annual event focused on the role of intelligence in enabling a proactive security posture. There were many great discussions throughout the day.
Below are five notable quotes from today’s event:
- “What’s the best indication you’re going to have a break-in at your house? The best indication is that your neighbor has a break-in. The good news is we’re able to collect data on break-ins as they happen, and we can turn that into intelligence.” -- Dr. Christopher Ahlberg
- “People think of spies as cynical, rather dry people, but we are basically romantics because we are adventurous -- we believe that individuals can change the course of history, and we see that happen.” -- Sir Alex Younger, former Chief of MI6
- “To our own community of cyber defenders … we need to compete less... we’re on the same team! Let’s get together, and let’s defend!” -- Geoff Brown, CISO of New York City
- “Automation is extremely important to us… it’s not about IOC, detection or alerts, it’s about something we can act on, prevent and respond to.” -- Timothy Lee, CISO of City of Los Angeles
- “I love the work you’re doing and expanding your capabilities to actually think about identity, because I think anytime we can get better intelligence and better visibility into the threat landscape on all different threat vectors, it’s helpful to the industry.” -- Ann Johnson, Corporate VP of SCI Business Development, Microsoft
