Case Assignment
For this Case, answer the following:
When an individual or group thwarts a cyber-attack, are they considered to be heroic? Can this heroic act be exploited as lessons learned, or as best practices?
- When threat intelligence is relevant, actionable, and valuable, how can this information support the need to develop and deploy Cyber Threat Intelligence best practices?
By identifying and thwarting the attack, were the individual or group simply doing their job, and implementing industry best practices for improved cyber security risk mitigation? Are deploying Cyber Threat Intelligence best practices, as an offensive measure, ever justified?
