What is Cyber Threat Intelligence?

Cyber Threat Intelligence is based on the collection of intelligence using open source intelligence (OSINT), social media intelligence (SOCMINT), human Intelligence (HUMINT),technical intelligence or intelligence from the deep and dark web.

Why is Cyber Threat Intelligence required?

While the security has been evolved over the last 2 decade’s, the attack surface as well as the attackers tactics has changed. We all have realized how the signature-based detections are diminishing or adding less value to security. Today’s attackers are more sophisticated and well-funded. They can easily alter and deliver the same attack by changing the malware / exploits. CTI focuses more on detecting the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP’s) rather than the malware and helps to enhance the efficacy of detection

Our Experience with CTI:

We at SiteWALL, have deployed a multi-layer detection approach for our Intelligence Adaptive Web Application FireWall. We have a blend of detection technology which includes signature based detection, virtual patching for Zero day vulnerabilities and Cyber Threat Intelligence. Our last month’s stats clearly shows 74% of the attacks are blocked by the Threat Intel
