3 Ways to Reduce Risk with Threat Intelligence

Identity-based attacks are on the rise, accounting for 60% of all Cisco Talos Incident Response cases. Attackers are taking advantage of vulnerabilities in supply chains, targeting the operational weaknesses of organisations, and exploiting new attack surfaces opened up by cloud services. This influx of malicious attacks is projected to cost organisations a hefty $10.5 trillion annually.

This problem is amplified by a distinct lack of context around security events. One of the most common challenges for security operations centre (SOC) analysts is trying to define and prioritise threats without the right information on hand.

To keep up with new and emerging threats, organisations need to adapt and update their threat intelligence and incident response capabilities at the same rate as their adversaries. By integrating threat intelligence directly into their workflows, security teams can supercharge their SOC. This allows for even more efficient threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR), so analysts can swiftly identify and mitigate risk before it’s too late.
