A Discussion of how Important Threat
Intelligence is
When carrying out cyber intelligence activities, it is not
always about looking for a needle in stack of hay, it’s all about looking for
the hay in a stack of needles. The improved cyber adversaries in today’s world
have financial backing, the wherewithal and intelligence to carry out advanced
attacks.
The attack may be too intense that the attack may not be
known at all to the end users as well as the security tools your organization
may have in place. Most of the advanced cyber-attacks people witness today
don’t appear uncommon in any way.
The steps employed to steal a given data or breach a network
or financial data might even look normal. However, understanding your
adversaries and knowing about their tactics, procedures and methods is
important when carry out security intelligence activities.
Where does security
intelligence come to play?
There are thousands of 24 threat intelligence sources as well as tools and can include some kind of processed threat
intelligence. However, an analyst who is well equipped and armed with
information can find the most dangerous methods used by adversaries.
Discovering breaches
A good security intelligence is that which is able to
identify anomalous activities or security breaches as well as help catch
adversaries in the early stages. Understanding adversary methods, tactics and
procedures can help pinpoint attack techniques and reconnaissance before the
breach takes place.
This can save your company a lot of money in terms of loss
and damage.
Analysts need to know
how such adversary is associated with the target setting. Insight into
reconnaissance techniques can help your business thwart adversaries before the
breach takes place as well as determining where to go from the entry point if
they are responding to a breach that has already taken
Handling attack
trends
The use of security intelligence can help your company deal
with current attack trends, adversary, attack vendors, and help you know why,
how and when an adversary may attack a given network in your organization.
There are a number of motives for attacking a given target,
and it might even be on the target company’s industry vertical.
It may also be based on date exfiltration such as customer
information or intellectual property. It could also be meant to deface the
company site or even steal important data for future use. The motives are more
than you could ever imagine.
Security intelligence
can helping in hunting operations as well as enabling the company and its
affiliates to under the risk that the business could possess at any time and
stage.
Helps in
understanding adversaries
This helps the company create and pursue their campaigns,
which is an important move. Analysts that carry out hunting operations need to
learn how to attack the actual malware as well as other forms of attacks.
Understanding how the
adversaries find their way into the victim is a major stride for discovering
attacks that would otherwise not be noticed. It is not an easy thing to find a
malicious risk.
