Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is the process of collecting, analysing, and disseminating information about potential threats to an organisation's network and systems. It helps organisations understand the risks they face in cyberspace and develop strategies and tactics to mitigate them.
CTI is an essential component of an organisation's security strategy, as it offers a systematic and comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing potential threats.
Red Piranha is a world leader when it comes to CTI. We are a member of the highly-regarded Cyber Threat Alliance, and this appointment is a testament to our increased technical capabilities in this area and our commitment to quality with CTI. As one of its top contributors, we offer contextualised CTI feeds to its members and the wider security industry.
Key components of Cyber Threat Intelligence:
- Collect information about potential threats. Red Piranha monitors and analyses network traffic, scans the internet for compromise indicators and gathers intelligence from other sources, such as law enforcement agencies, defence, and partner organisations.
- The collected information is analysed to identify patterns, techniques and trends. We correlate and contextualise information to understand the capabilities and intentions of threat actors.
- Operationalising threat intelligence is an essential part of any organisation's security strategy. It involves using information from various sources to identify and mitigate security threats to an organisation's systems, networks, and assets.
- STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) and TAXII (Trusted Automated Exchange of Indicator Information) are open-source standards for exchanging CTI. STIX is a language for representing and sharing cyber threat information, while TAXII is a protocol for transmitting that information.
CTI poses a few challenges when executing and integrating it into the technology stacks to gain desired outcomes.
Red Piranha helps solve those challenges, allowing our Security Operations (SecOps) team to push the disseminated intelligence to the appropriate internal security technology within the Crystal Eye platform. This provides Automated Actionable Intelligence updates to execute a Moving Target Defence or Moving Target Defensive strategy state within the platform.
