Intelligence Driven Security is a strategy that delivers visibility, analysis, and action capabilities. It involves collecting relevant data, extrapolating insights from that data to understand normal behavior and spot anomalies, and then taking action to respond to threats. The strategy balances modern approaches to gain insight, consolidate information, lower costs, improve productivity and competitiveness. It is considered a must-have approach compared to outdated security models.

What is Intelligence Driven Security?
Intelligence Driven Security in Action
1. Gain Visibility
2. Perform Analysis
A strategy to deliver the visibility,
analysis, and action needed to detect,
investigate, and respond to advanced
threats, confirm and manage identities,
and prevent online fraud and cybercrime.
Collect data that matters
1. Evaluate risk to the organization
2. Understand what is happening
on the network
3. Manage digital identities
Extrapolate insight from the data
• Understand normal state behavior
• Spot, investigate, and root out
anomalies
• Provide contextual analysis to
determine response
3. Take Action
Respond to malicious anomalies
• Mitigate threats and enforce controls
• Initiate remediation process
• Operationalize response
A strategy that delivers 3 essential capabilities
Visibility, Analysis, and Action
“Intelligence Driven Security has evolved from a conceptual theory
to a must-have strategy for today’s enterprise. The proliferation
of access requirements by people and devices has dramatically
increased security risk.”
Chris Christiansen, IDC
“Using data from systems and users to drive decision-making can
help improve the speed and efficiency of spotting and responding to
attacks and ultimately safeguard an organization's most important
digital assets.”William Boni, Corporate Information Security Officer
(CISO) and Vice President, Enterprise Information Security
