In this conversation, MIAX Options CSO John Masserini discusses the threat detection and response space with AlienVault President and CEO Barmak Meftah.

An early adopter of threat intelligence, Masserini notes its challenges and asks Meftah what AlienVault is seeing in the market and how threat intelligence is being integrated into companies’ security organizations.

Meftah talks about the need to efficiently aggregate information while noting that it is more important to synthesize the information to ensure it is easily consumable and actionable.

He describes AlienVault’s crowdsourcing approach and how it is helping SMBs centralize and simplify their threat detection and response. They were speaking in this sponsored podcast at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas earlier this month.
