LogRhythm Experts Explain the Value of Actionable Threat Intelligence at the 2015 API Cybersecurity Conference and Expo

BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LogRhythm, The Security Intelligence Company, today announced that James Carder, CISO of LogRhythm, vice president of LogRhythm Labs, and Greg Foss, senior security research engineer at LogRhythm, will be presenting "The Threat Intelligence Field of Dreams" at the 10^th annual API Cybersecurity Conference and Expo, November 10-11 in Houston, TX.

There are now hundreds of sources for threat intelligence and an equal number of companies willing to charge for their sources. However, the notion and concept of openly sharing threat intelligence is rarely seen. Although some forums, some communities and some organizations do partake in this, why are we not seeing this in all industries? Why does a company have to be a part of a secret club to have access to the data it needs to protect its company assets and intellectual property?

In their presentation, Carder and Foss will lay the foundation for building a threat intelligence architecture that leverages internal sources, making the intelligence actionable. They will also examine ways in which organizations can openly collaborate and share threat intelligence at an affordable cost.

James Carder has over 18 years of experience working in corporate IT security and consulting for the Fortune 500 and U.S. Government. At LogRhythm, he develops and maintains the company's security governance model and risk strategies, protects the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information assets, oversees threat and vulnerability management and the Security Operations Center. He also directs the mission and strategic vision for the LogRhythm Labs machine data intelligence, threat research, compliance research, incident response, and threat intelligence teams. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems from Walden University and is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional.

Greg Foss is LogRhythm's Security Operations Team Lead and a Senior Researcher with Labs, where he is tasked with leading both offensive and defensive aspects of corporate security. He has just under a decade of experience in the Information Security industry with an extensive background in Security Operations, focusing on Penetration Testing and Web Application Security. Greg holds multiple industry certifications including the OSCP, GAWN, GPEN, GWAPT, GCIH, and C|EH, among others. He has presented at national security conferences such as DerbyCon, AppSecUSA, BSidesLV, and is a very active member of the Denver security community.
