Cyber Threat Intelligence In The Age Of Automation

Dan Sorensen

Even today, organizations face sophisticated and advanced persistent cyber threats (APT) in today's ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. One powerful tool in the cybersecurity arsenal is cyber threat intelligence (CTI). By harnessing CTI, organizations can gain valuable insights into emerging threats, adversaries' tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs) and vulnerabilities in their environment. I have outlined some key strategies to enhance proactive defense measures and strengthen overall cybersecurity posture.

Types Of CTI Data, Considering The Forecasted Threats

Strategic Intelligence: Essential for anticipating long-term trends and emerging threats like the rise of state-sponsored cyberattacks and the weaponization of artificial intelligence (AI).

Operational Intelligence: Critical for focusing on specific threats, such as the predicted surge in supply chain attacks and ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) models.

Tactical Intelligence: Vital for immediate detection and response, especially considering the forecast increase in zero-day exploits and fileless malware attacks.

Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): Social media platforms and underground forums are valuable sources for tracking threat actor discussions and identifying emerging attack techniques focused on exploiting new vulnerabilities in popular software and systems.
