What is Threat Intelligence Service?

Threat intelligence is the collection, analysis and interpretation of information related to malicious actors and their threats. It provides organisations with the insights they need to identify vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit, reduce their risk exposure and protect themselves from known or likely attacks.

Threat Intelligence Services

Threat intelligence services help organisations stay one step ahead of cyber criminals by gathering data from multiple sources, analysing it and delivering actionable intelligence that can be used to defend an organisation's digital assets. Services typically include:


Threat Analysis – Conducting analysis of the gathered data to identify potential threats.


Threat Identification – Identifying malicious actors and their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs).


Risk Assessment – Assessing the risk posed by identified threats.


Threat Monitoring – Tracking threat activity to identify emerging trends.


Vulnerability Analysis – Identifying software vulnerabilities which  could be exploited by attackers.


Incident Response – Developing and implementing incident response plans and procedures in the event of an attack.


By combining all of these services, organisations can gain a comprehensive understanding of their security posture and potential threats they may face in the future, enabling them to better protect their assets and mitigate risk.

Conclusion

Threat intelligence services are a critical component of any comprehensive security strategy, as they provide organisations with the information they need to stay ahead of attackers and protect their assets. By leveraging threat intelligence services, organisations can gain the insights they need to quickly identify and respond to threats, helping them protect their customers, data and reputation.
