CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE SERVICES
Enhance your defensive security capabilities through the use of detailed, strategic threat intelligence about potential cyber attacks.
WHAT IS CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE?
Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) involves gathering, analysing and applying information about cyber threats. It focuses on the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) threat actors exploit to pose security and cyber attacks.
Working with our CTI team enables organisations to understand the current threat landscape and make informed decisions to strengthen cyber defences. CTI helps you anticipate and protect against future threats by assessing security strategies and improving threat detection.

THE BENEFITS OF CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE
SUPPORT INFORMED DECISION MAKING
The effective use of threat intelligence is the foundation of any cyber security programme and enables informed decision making.
ANTICIPATE EMERGING THREATS
With insight into recent activity from relevant threat actors, your security team will always be aware of the latest threats.
OPTIMISE VULNERABILITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Detailed threat intelligence helps your security team understand the biggest risks to your organisation, and how to remediate them.
TAKE A PROACTIVE APPROACH
Being able to anticipate threats allows your SOC team to take action ahead of threats rather than respond to them.

HOW IT WORKS
Our threat intelligence analysts work closely with our or your Security Operations Centre (SOC) to develop a complete picture of your threat landscape.
■ Automated Dissemination Leverage our high efficacy technical data which also includes insight into actively used infrastructure through STIX/TAXII/API and other integrations for automated detection and blocking based upon our research and intelligence.
■ Intelligence Reporting Regular reports and summaries concerning specific threats, from malware and phishing to infected external hosts.
■ Intelligence-Driven Detection Actionable intelligence for use in threat-hunting hypotheses and custom detection analytics.
■ Digital Risk Protection A cyber risk profile assessment and threat modelling procedure, using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
■ Threat Landscape Assessment Interact, track, identify and alert on malicious activity with the use of honeypots, canaries and tokens for active defence.
CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE FAQs
Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is defined as "the actionable intelligence about adversaries, their tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs), and the vulnerabilities they exploit, that organizations use to inform decisions regarding their security posture and strategies."
CTI allows organisations to not only understand the current threat landscape, but also anticipate future threats. CTI can be used to support a number of security-related decisions.
Threat intelligence can be categorised as:
Strategic threat intelligence- Strategic intelligence provides a high-level view of the current threat landscape that can be used by non-technical/ executive audiences.
Tactical threat intelligence – Tactical intelligence provides insight on the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers.
Technical threat intelligence – Technical intelligence focuses on signs that a threat campaign is about to take place or is in progress.
Operational threat intelligence – Operational intelligence is used to anticipate future attacks and how they might unfold, allowing organisations to prepare appropriately.
An example of cyber threat intelligence could be a report detailing a newly discovered malware strain, including its methods of propagation, target industries and potential impact. This intelligence helps organisations understand the threat landscape, enhances their defences and informs incident response teams to prepare for or mitigate identified risks.
The CTI process lifecycle has several stages. The initial planning and direction stage defines the objectives and requirements of the CTI. The next stages involve the collection of data from various sources and an evaluation and interpretation of that data. Next, CTI teams disseminate findings with stakeholders and integrate insights to improve future intelligence efforts.
Cyber security encompasses the protection of systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. This focuses on prevention, detection, and response to threats. CTI, however, specifically involves the collection, analysis and sharing of information about potential or existing threats. This involves aggregating data on potential threat actors, particularly those relevant to your organisation, to anticipate potential threats and pre-emptively take action to defend against them.
