Cyber threat intelligence can be defined as the evolution of cyber threat information after it has been collected, evaluated, and assessed in the context of its origin, accuracy, and reliability, and after extensive analysis through rigorous and structured tradecraft techniques. It is in fact the knowledge that enables businesses and individuals to detect and prevent and/or mitigate cyber-attacks.
Cyber threat intelligence offers a significant value-add to raw cyber threat information and accurate cyber threat intelligence can mean the difference between detecting a cyberattack and missing it. Which is why you need to partner with a cyber threat intelligence vendor that can provide accurate and contextual threat intelligence to power your cyber threat detection initiatives.
Without the right threat intelligence, threat vectors could slip through cyber defenses and move across networks. Threat intelligence that is relevant gives security teams much-needed visibility into threats they need to be aware of. Small wonder that it is now becoming a major tool in the fight against cybercrime and malware developers. True and contextually relevant threat intelligence should enable decisions to be taken with confidence.
Accurate threat intelligence reduces the cost and time to detect cyber attacks. The cost per unit time spent in detecting cyberattacks is an underrated metric whose relevance is coming into the picture more clearly now. Early detection of a cyberattack saves cost and credibility while time saved in detecting such attacks can be used by the SecOps and SOC teams for deploying more cybersecurity measures or for improving the efficacy of existing steps.
Questions to ask before selecting a cyber threat intelligence vendor
- Do they collect their own (organic/native) threat intelligence or are merely an aggregator?
- Is the threat intelligence offered contextually relevant and proven?
- Is the collection facility global and spread across enough cities to account for the latest and evolving threats?
- Can your SIEM consume the threat intelligence easily?
- Can it account for both IoT and OT threats?
These are but some of the questions that you can ask your vendor. It is essential to sign up the right threat intelligence vendor for this move could mean the difference between deploying a strong cyber deterrent and missing some of the cyberattacks directed against your business or IoT and OT assets.
