The value of a threat intelligence platform

Organizations of all sizes are critically aware of the importance of cybersecurity. Spending on cybersecurity technology has exceeded $170 billion, yet organizations continue to face unprecedented challenges from a threat landscape that is constantly growing in size and sophistication. 

Superior threat and vulnerability intelligence can help security analysts and teams to stay ahead of the curve and gain an upper hand against a broad range of threats. Choosing the right threat intelligence platform is critical, as many solutions simply add more noise to the security space. Unless a threat intelligence vendor can deliver timely, relevant and actionable data, it is likely to create more confusion and work for security analysts.

Cybersixgill's threat intelligence platform reduces the amount of incoming information, curating alerts and supporting advanced investigative and filtering capabilities to accelerate time to value, delivering real-time, high-fidelity data that is relevant to your specific organizational assets and ecosystem. With data collected from 700+ sources in the clear, deep and dark web, we deliver more comprehensive intelligence than any other vendor to help security teams stop emerging threats before they have a chance to materialize.

Criteria for choosing a threat intelligence platform

When considering your next threat intelligence vendor, you must choose a solution that does more than simply deliver indicators of compromise (IOCs) like malware hashes, known phishing sites and rogue IP addresses. Ideally, an intelligence platform should help the organization answer several critical questions:

  • Who is attacking us and why?

  • Where are attacks coming from?

  • Where are we most vulnerable?

  • Are attacks being directed at partners in an effort to reach and infiltrate our assets?

  • What new techniques might attackers be using?

  • What’s the best way to anticipate attacks and protect our organization from breaches?

A superior threat intelligence solution should enable organizations to shift from a reactive stance – where security teams play “whack-a-mole” with an unending stream of threats like account takeovers, data leaks, fraud campaigns and malware attacks – to a proactive approach focused on risk prevention and reducing threat exposure before attackers strike. 

Ultimately, the right threat intelligence platform can help organizations reach the highest level of cybersecurity maturity, where threat intelligence and threat hunting enable teams to identify and block threats earlier while monitoring supply chains to stop attacks that originate with vendors and partners.

FAQs

What is threat intelligence?

Threat intelligence is knowledge that helps security teams to identify, prepare for and prevent cyberattacks. Threat intelligence is developed by collecting, analyzing and interpreting data about existing or emerging threats that may target an organization. Security teams rely on threat intelligence to make more informed decisions about security programs and controls, enabling their organizations to adopt a proactive rather than reactive approach to combating cybercrime.

What is a threat intelligence platform?

A threat intelligence platform is a technology solution that gives a user access to information about threats from a variety of sources. A superior threat intelligence platform will automate the collection, processing, contextualization and analysis of data, freeing security professionals to spend more time using intelligence to refine security programs, protocols and controls. Threat intelligence platforms can help teams with a broad range of security tasks, including malware prevention, supply chain and brand monitoring, phishing detection, cyber security audits and more.
