WHO: CEO Hugh Njemanze

WHEN: 4:15-4:55 p.m. PDT

WHERE: Disrupt!ion 2015, Luxor Hotel & Casino, Egyptian Ballroom, 3900 South Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, Nev.

"Cyber criminals are innovating much faster and delivering many more sophisticated attacks; as a result, threat intelligence has gained significant importance in the ever-changing threat landscape," said Njemanze. "However, there is still much confusion about what threat intelligence is, how it's consumed, and how to best utilize all the aggregated data. In this panel discussion, we'll talk about the progress of threat intelligence technology, including its adoption and how we can make it a more effective tool for organizations."

"This year is turning out to be the most spectacular year of high-profile compromises across almost every vertical," said Trost.
