What is Threat Intelligence?
Cyber threat intelligence is a subset of intelligence focused on information security. This curated information is intended to help make better decisions about how to defend an organization from cyber-based threats. Some of the questions threat intelligence can answer includes:
- Who are the adversaries in our vertical, and how might they attack me?
- How are attack vectors detected in the tools used in our company?
- What should my security operations teams be prepared to detect?
- How can I ascertain the severity or risk of a cyber attack?
Threat intelligence is evidence-based knowledge, including context, mechanisms, indicators, implications, and actionable advice, about an existing or emerging menace or hazard to assets.
Castra can use this to make informed decisions regarding the detection and/or response to that menace or hazard.
