Episode 14 — Mine internal telemetry for durable intelligence wins
While external data is important, your own internal telemetry often provides the most durable and high-fidelity intelligence "wins" for your specific organization. This episode explores how to mine your own history of incidents, failed login attempts, and blocked web traffic to identify patterns of adversary behavior that are unique to your network. We discuss building a "threat library" of internal observations that can be used to create custom detection rules and to identify "repeat offenders" who target your infrastructure over many months. This internal intelligence is often more resistant to adversary "counter-measures," as it is based on the attacker's direct engagement with your unique defenses. For the certification exam, you should understand how to correlate internal signals with external reporting to validate a threat’s severity. By mastering internal mining, you turn every defensive encounter into a long-term strategic advantage for the enterprise.
