Web Intelligence

Web Intelligence refers to using data and information gathered from the web. In the context of an organization using it to protect itself from threats, risks, exposures, and vulnerabilities, web intelligence is used to identify potential cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities that could impact the organization.

Web Intelligence gathers information from numerous online sources, such as social media, blogs, web forums, and other publicly accessible sources, to watch for any dangers or vulnerabilities that might influence the company. It includes monitoring for mentions of the organization, its products or services, and its executives, as well as for mentions of potential security vulnerabilities and exploits that could impact the organization's systems and data.

Web Intelligence supports threat intelligence and risk management by enabling organizations to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities. By monitoring for possible threats and vulnerabilities, organizations can proactively take steps to mitigate these risks and prevent potential attacks.

Web Intelligence can also support incident response by providing information about potential threats and vulnerabilities that could impact the organization. Using Web intelligence, incident response teams can immediately analyze an occurrence's breadth and severity and take the necessary steps to contain and mitigate it.

Web intelligence is crucial for enterprises to proactively identify potential threats and weaknesses and create efficient risk management plans. By combining Web Intelligence with other types of cybersecurity intelligence, organizations can establish comprehensive cybersecurity strategies that effectively protect their systems and data from a wide range of cybersecurity threats.
