Threat Intelligence

Understanding Cyber Threat Intelligence: Why It Matters

Threat intelligence is the process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information about potential and existing cyber threats to an organization. This information can be used to proactively defend against cyber-attacks and to provide context for decision-making around cybersecurity risks.

Cyber threat intelligence is conducted through a range of techniques, including monitoring of social media, dark web, open-source intelligence, and closed source intelligence. The information gathered is analyzed to identify emerging threats, attacker methods and tactics, and vulnerabilities in systems and applications. The resulting intelligence can be used to inform decisions around risk management, threat response, and cybersecurity strategy.

Why Cyber Threat Intelligence Matters:

It is critical for organizations to effectively manage cybersecurity risks. By providing early warning of potential threats, intelligence enables organizations to take proactive measures to protect against attacks.

It also helps organizations to identify vulnerabilities in their systems and applications, allowing them to take corrective action before a cyber-attack occurs. Additionally, intelligence can be used to inform security policies and procedures, and to ensure that security resources are being effectively deployed to address the most significant threats to an organization.
