It’s a topic I never tire of because not only do I believe that there is no “silver bullet” technology, I believe it’s the humans who really lead the way to greater security efficiency and effectiveness. So, while at the conference I took the opportunity to view everything through the lens of the human element.

One example that stood out to me was the LEAD framework created by Adobe to help their internal security teams make better use of the vast amounts of threat intelligence they collect every day.
LEAD stands for ReLevant, Efficient, Analyst-driven and Deliverable. It’s a perfect example of the symbiosis between technology and people to strengthen security posture. The framework leverages the fact that security professionals are the ones who understand their environment and security profile and are able to define risk. They’re also the ones with the experience to determine the right action to take in their environment. With the right technology, they can apply their understanding, experience and intuition for greater security efficiency and effectiveness. Let’s take a closer look at each aspect of the framework.
