006 Insikt: Insights to Intelligence
Turning information into actionable intelligence is a critical activity for organizations of all types and sizes. The challenge remains sifting through the enormous amount of data coming at us from all angles and at ever-increasing rates. In this episode, we give the scoop on Recorded Future’s new team dedicated to helping organizations overcome these challenges. Insikt Group is a team of veteran threat researchers that back up the intelligence analysts, engineers, and data scientists that create and deliver our products. The word “insikt” is Swedish for insight and highlights the team’s core mission of finding insights that reduce risks. We speak once again with Levi Gundert, Vice President of Intelligence and Strategy at Recorded Future. We cover some of the research being done by the Insikt Group, including “Fatboy,” a new ransomware-as-a-service product, as well as how Chinese and Russian cyber communities are digging into malware from the April Shadow Brokers release.
