Cyber Threat Intelligence

Enhance your defensive security capabilities through the use of detailed, strategic threat intelligence about potential cyber attacks.

Our Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team gathers information from our own threat research and a range of open, private and trusted sources to share information about current or potential attacks relevant to your organization's sector and operations.

The Importance of Cyber Threat Intelligence

  • Changing Threat Landscape: The technical sophistication of cyber attacks continues to increase, with tactics and attack infrastructure changing regularly.
  • False Positives: Building an effective collection framework and ensuring the efficacy of threat intelligence is difficult, leading to a large amount of noise, false positives and a lack of real threats detected and prevented.
  • Threat Intelligence Isn’t Utilized: Many organizations fail to incorporate threat intelligence into their wider security operations, preventing it from realizing it’s full value.

  • Intelligence Reporting Regular reports and summaries concerning specific threats, from malware and phishing to infected external hosts. 

  • Intelligence-Driven Detection Actionable intelligence for use in threat-hunting hypotheses and custom detection analytics. 

  • Digital Risk Protection A cyber risk profile assessment and threat modelling procedure, using the MITRE ATT&CK framework. 

  • Threat Landscape Assessment Interact, track, identify and alert on malicious activity with the use of honeypots, canaries and tokens for active defence. 

Cyber Threat Intelligence FAQs

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is defined as "the actionable intelligence about adversaries, their tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs), and the vulnerabilities they exploit, that organizations use to inform decisions regarding their security posture and strategies."

CTI allows organizations to not only understand the current threat landscape, but also anticipate future threats. CTI can be used to support a number of security-related decisions. 

Threat intelligence can be categorized as: 

  • Strategic threat intelligence- Strategic intelligence provides a high-level view of the current threat landscape that can be used by non-technical/ executive audiences.  

  • Tactical threat intelligence – Tactical intelligence provides insight on the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers. 

  • Technical threat intelligence – Technical intelligence focuses on signs that a threat campaign is about to take place or is in progress. 

  • Operational threat intelligence – Operational intelligence is used to anticipate future attacks and how they might unfold, allowing organizations to prepare appropriately. 

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is analyzed in a variety of ways, depending on the organization and the specific goals of the analysis. CTI can be used to support incident response, threat hunting, and proactive defense efforts. One common approach to CTI analysis is to use a framework or methodology, such as the Cyber Kill Chain or MITRE's ATT&CK.
