However, not all so-called threat intelligence is the same. Many vendors claim to offer threat intelligence, but actually offer data feeds with no or little context, unverified and untargeted information; and raw data that needs an exorbitant amount of internal resources to sort through. REAL threat intelligence provides operatively-sourced pre-emptive information of the who, what, why and when of targeted and widespread threats before they can affect your organisation. SiO4 ZERO CONTACT leverages its operative and research teams to deliver intelligence from Dark Web forums and the Underground Economy.
No other vendor delivers highly valued and effective pre-emptive targeted widespread breach and Dark Web intelligence by engaging with threat actors directly in the communities, closed forums, marketplaces and social sites, enabling strategic assessment of the dynamic threat landscape. This is where the bad actor resides, ready to make their move and create havoc in your organization. It’s only a matter of time.
What about other methods or claims from other vendors? You can’t defend what you can’t see, and the lack of visibility hinders the true value of pure threat intelligence. Appliances, data feeds and AI offer little value since they deliver little if any context, support or attribution. The only way you can obtain a clear understanding of the threats and motives is with operatively-sourced intelligence (meaningful chatter and pre-emptive information). There is no clear understanding or strategy to prioritise, counter or triage the unknown. You are still at a loss.
