Threat Intelligence

In security and cybersecurity, "Threat Intelligence" refers to the knowledge and insights gained from analyzing information about potential cyber threats. This information is collected, processed, and interpreted to understand threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and the indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with their activities. Threat intelligence encompasses a wide range of data, including details about specific malware, vulnerabilities, exploits, malicious IP addresses, and other elements that can risk an organization's systems and data security. Threat intelligence empowers organizations to make informed decisions about their cybersecurity strategy, enabling proactive threat detection, prevention, and response. This intelligence can be derived from various sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), information shared within the cybersecurity community, government agencies, and proprietary sources, and is crucial for staying ahead of evolving cyber threats.

ThreatNG is a comprehensive solution integrating External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings. It significantly enhances an organization's ability to leverage Threat Intelligence for its external digital presence. Continuously monitoring the attack surface, ThreatNG identifies potential threats and vulnerabilities, contributing valuable intelligence to the organization's threat profile. For example, within its EASM functionality, ThreatNG identifies exposed assets, potentially vulnerable entry points, and associated threat indicators. Seamlessly integrating with existing security tools such as SIEM systems and threat intelligence platforms, ThreatNG facilitates a cohesive handoff of critical information. For instance, if ThreatNG detects a specific type of threat during its DRP analysis, it can efficiently relay this intelligence to endpoint protection solutions or firewall configurations for targeted mitigation. This collaborative approach strengthens the organization's external defense and optimizes synergy with complementary solutions, enabling security teams to proactively leverage threat intelligence and stay ahead of potential cyber threats.
