Who needs Cyber Threat Intelligence?

Many organisations do not know their true attack surface and how information being shared on the Internet and dark web forums can be used against them and their employees. Why is this?

• The world is constantly evolving, and cyber threats are changing at an ever-increasing rate. Every organisation must understand through threat intelligence where an attack is likely to come from, whether it’s from their network, web application or email, and how they are going to detect and respond.
• The traditional network boundary is being dissolved through cloud adoption and users are increasingly sharing more and more about their personal and working habits, broadening the attack surface.
• To understand your threats, it is necessary to collect and analyse potentially huge volumes of data – some only accessible in the Dark Web – using skilled and experienced intelligence professionals who can apply unbiased analysis to produce real-world scenarios.
• The Cyber Threat Intelligence market has long been considered a ‘feed’ of data. This often produces large amounts of inaccurate and time-consuming effort to correct unless assessed by a certified threat intelligence analyst in the context of your business. Using refined methodology and a threat intelligence management system to understand the data feed, EDGENETIC is your provider of security insights. Thankfully the market is evolving to include operational and strategic intelligence products – not just technical ‘data’ from threat intelligence feeds.

How Does Cyber Threat Intelligence Benefit You?

The perception of cyber threat intelligence is that it is a domain of elite analysts with military training. In reality, it adds value to any cybersecurity function no matter the size or industry. For example:

• Fraud prevention, risk analysis, and other high-level security staff are tasked with understanding the current threat landscape for their organisation. Threat intelligence provides key insights on threat groups, their targets and motives, and their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
• Security operations teams are routinely overwhelmed by the volume of alerts they receive. Threat intel can be combined with the security solutions already in use, helping them quickly prioritize alerts and identify threats.
• Security testing scenarios for ‘red team’ style assurance activities are best realised using real-world intelligence about your organisation. Combined with current trends in attacker TTPs and aligned to Mitre ATT&CK, Cyber Threat Intelligence brings a level of realism that can rarely be refuted.
• Vulnerability management teams are tasked with accurately prioritising the most critical vulnerabilities. Combining vulnerability data from your organisation with threat intelligence provides valuable context that allows them to differentiate immediate threats from those that pose little to no risk.

Frequently Asked Questions about Data Privacy Security

What is an incident response policy?

An Incident response plan or policy is a process you create before you experience a cyberattack. This is so that your team has a procedure to follow when you do experience a data breach. EDGENETIC follows the CREST Cybersecurity Incident Response process which is broken down into 3 phases: preparation, response, and follow up. Having a breach plan gives you the confidence to quickly nullify any threat to your data privacy security.

Why is data privacy security important?

Although it has always been important, the implications and need for higher security are coming into play now that technology is indispensable to everyday life. Using apps, browsing websites, and shopping online are all examples of how your data will be stored and managed online. For organisations today, the threat of cyber theft is a pertinent one. Having comprehensive data privacy plans in place can reduce and mitigate the risks of such events.
