• The types of information being sought after
• Who the bad actors are - State-sponsored organizations, organized crime, and others
• Risk models
• The types of breaches, including phishing and access to networks and systems
• Responses when you do have a breach. Incident response systems, including planning, executing, learning, and implementing improvements
• Information accumulated in an effective investigation
