Threat Hunting Management Workshop 8: Building the Bridge Between Intelligence and the Hunt

Threat intelligence and threat hunting are both meant to help security teams make better decisions, but in many organizations, the two functions still operate in separate lanes. Intelligence teams may understand the adversary, while hunt teams understand the environment, but without a clear connection between the two, teams can miss the opportunity to turn intelligence into focused, measurable hunting activity.

In this Threat Hunting Management Workshop, Intel 471’s Garrett Carstens, SVP, Intelligence Operations, and Scott Poley, Principal Threat Hunt Account Manager, will discuss how leaders can bring CTI and threat hunting teams closer together to improve prioritization, strengthen intelligence requirements, and build hunting programs that are more connected to real organizational risk.

This session is built for security leaders, CTI managers, threat hunting leads, SOC leaders, and anyone responsible for improving how intelligence informs security operations.

Join this session to hear discussion around:

• Why CTI and threat hunting often struggle to connect in practice
• How intelligence can help guide stronger hunt priorities
• How hunt teams can shape better intelligence requirements
• What leaders can do to bridge the gap between intelligence and operations
• How a more connected CTI and hunting model can improve decision-making

This fireside chat will focus on what works, what gets in the way, and how organizations can move beyond separate functions toward a more practical, collaborative model for intelligence-driven threat hunting.

Certification and Resources

Attendees will leave with practical strategies for improving how threat intelligence and threat hunting teams work together, including ways to strengthen requirements, prioritize hunts, and connect intelligence to operational outcomes. Those who complete the workshop and final challenge will also earn a certification from Intel 471’s Threat Hunting Management Program, which they can display on social media as recognition of their accomplishment.
