Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence

C

Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence refers to information collected, analyzed, and processed to understand and mitigate potential cybersecurity threats. This intelligence includes insights into cyber adversaries' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and information about their motives, capabilities, and targets. Threat intelligence helps organizations enhance their security posture by providing actionable insights that allow for proactive identification and mitigation of cyber threats. This information can encompass indicators of compromise (IoCs), such as malware signatures, malicious IP addresses, phishing URLs, and contextual information about the threat landscape. Cybersecurity threat intelligence is typically gathered from various sources, including open-source intelligence, government agencies, industry-specific sharing groups, and commercial threat intelligence providers. Integrating threat intelligence into security processes enables organizations to better anticipate, detect, and respond to cyber threats effectively.

ThreatNG, integrating External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings, is pivotal in empowering an organization with Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence concerning its external digital presence. By continuously monitoring the attack surface, ThreatNG identifies and assesses potential threats and vulnerabilities, offering detailed insights within its EASM capabilities. The platform seamlessly integrates with existing security tools, such as threat intelligence platforms and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, facilitating a streamlined handoff of critical information. For example, suppose ThreatNG, through its DRP features, detects a potential threat associated with a specific external asset. In that case, it efficiently communicates this intelligence to the SIEM system, enabling comprehensive visibility into security events and enhancing the organization's overall threat detection and response capabilities. This collaborative approach optimizes synergy with complementary solutions, enabling security teams to proactively manage and secure their external digital presence against evolving cyber threats with the richness of threat intelligence.
