A BENCHMARKING SYSTEM TO SPARK COMPANIES TO ACTION – INNOVATION THAT FUELS NEW DEAL FLOW AND GROWTH PIPELINES

Research Summary

The modern threat landscape has undergone a profound transformation, driven by the global push toward digitalization. This has led to expanded attack surfaces, heightened IT complexity, and increased risks in supply chains. Today, threat actors launch multivector attacks that target organizations’ internal networks and their external digital assets, such as social media accounts and third-party applications. Consequently, organizations have ramped up their cybersecurity spending and adopted an array of tools to mitigate risks. The efficacy of these measures depends on whether organizations have a deep understanding of the modern threat landscape.

Actionable threat intelligence( TI) plays a pivotal role in cybersecurity, serving as the foundation for informed decisions and a robust security posture. In essence, TI encompasses actionable information about threats targeting an organization. The conventional TI ecosystem comprises 4 primary areas: cyber threat intelligence( CTI), threat intelligence platforms( TIP), external attack surface management( EASM), and digital risk protection( DRP), each serving distinct purposes.

CTI solutions gather data from diverse sources, such as open-source intelligence and the dark web, to provide insights into cyber threats. They offer commercial TI feeds containing indicators of compromise( IOCs) and comprehensive intelligence reports. Threat intelligence platforms( TIP) offer a collaborative interface to operationalize TI, streamlining data collection, aggregation, and organization. DRP solutions specialize in brand and phishing protection, identifying potential risks to an organization’ s external digital assets, and threat remediation. EASM solutions aid organizations in mapping their digital footprints, inventorying digital assets, and quantifying risk exposure to prioritize threats effectively. x
