A MESSAGE FROM EC-COUNCIL:
How Cyber Threat Intelligence Makes a HUGE IMPACT
Cyber threat intelligence allows organizations to understand the threats they are most likely to face. Of course, the number of possible threats is infinite and it is not possible to prevent all breaches. Enterprises can only prepare to a certain level due to limited funds and team size. So, how do security teams make the most of their time, manpower and funding?
The answer lies in threat intelligence.
The most common questions that a Cyber Threat Intelligence team addresses for an organization are:
- What are the most relevant and critical threats pertaining to your industry and your organization?
- Who is likely to attack you?
- What types of assets are likely to be targeted?
- What lessons learned from previous incidents can help to improve proactive protection?
Therefore, cyber threat intelligence is one of the most critical aspects of a security program because it looks beyond active defense but has the goal of actively mitigating the largest number of cyber threats possible.
