Threat Intelligence

Is the information and insights collected, analyzed, and disseminated about potential cyber threats and vulnerabilities that could pose risks to an organization's cybersecurity

What is Threat Intelligence?

Threat intelligence, in the context of cybersecurity, refers to the knowledge and information about potential threats, vulnerabilities, and malicious activities that can pose risks to an organization's systems, networks, and data. It involves gathering, analyzing, and applying relevant data to understand and mitigate cyber threats effectively

Threat Intelligence

The components of threat intelligence

• Data Collection

• Data Analysis

• Threat Detection

• Threat Hunting

• Incident Response and Mitigation

• Continuous Monitoring and Updates

Implementing the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System:

• A systematic study of information security risks within the organization

taking into account threats, vulnerabilities and the effects resulting.

• Design and implement a coherent and comprehensive set of

information security controls, risk handling procedures unacceptable risks.

• Adopting a comprehensive information security system to ensure

that information security controls continue to meet the organization's information security needs on an ongoing basis.

Methodology of threat intelligence . monitoring and detection

Understand the organization's threat intelligence needs, including the types of threats relevant to the industry, the systems and assets to be protected, and any specific compliance or regulatory requirements.

Gather data from various sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), commercial threat intelligence feeds, dark web monitoring, security vendors, research reports, and internal logs.

Data Processing and Analysis: Cleanse, normalize, and enrich the collected data to ensure consistency and relevance.

Integrate threat intelligence feeds and tools into the organization's security infrastructure, such as security information and event management (SIEM) systems, intrusion detection systems (IDS), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and threat intelligence platforms.

Monitoring and Detection: Continuously monitor the organization's networks, systems, and applications for potential security incidents

Threat Hunting: Engage in proactive threat hunting activities to search for unknown or advanced threats that may evade traditional security controls.

Incident Response and Mitigation: When a potential security incident is detected, initiate incident response processes to contain and mitigate the impact

Reporting and Communication: Generate reports and alerts based on threat intelligence findings, monitoring results, and detected incidents.

Continuous Improvement: Regularly review and improve threat intelligence processes and tools based on lessons learned from incidents, emerging threats, and industry best practices.
