Closing keynote

This presentation forms part of the CTA's Threat Intelligence Practitioners' Summit

Thursday 29 September 2022, 16:00 - 16:30

Michael Daniel (Cyber Threat Alliance)

In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice, they are very different. The talks presented in this track will illustrate that truth in several different ways. Michael will tie together the track’s sessions, highlighting the speakers’ key themes and points from over the course of the day. He will close by discussing how cybersecurity practitioners could apply these lessons in their work.
