What is Cyber Threat Intelligence?

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) enables your organization to understand the potential threats and threat actors looking to perform malicious activities against your brand, employees, and customers.

Rootshell Security’s Cyber Threat Intelligence service arms you with the most relevant insights for identifying, mitigating, and preventing cyber attacks. We deliver this as a continuous service by providing you with monthly actionable reports.

Why is cyber threat intelligence important?

Your security strategy is only as strong as your cyber threat intelligence. Conducting cyber threat intelligence services will provide your organization with a number of critical advantages.

Cyber threat intelligence services provide you with the foresight needed to act proactively, not reactively. This is essential for successfully preventing a breach.

Cybersecurity threat intelligence is foundational to making well informed, evidence-based decisions about your security strategy. This could include more efficient resource management and optimising incident response plans.

With cyber threat intelligence, you can optimise each stage of your incident response lifecycle. You will be able to better mitigate risk, increase the speed of threat detection, and respond to breaches faster than ever before.

Without cyber threat intelligence, deciding what steps to take to secure your security posture is like a shot in the dark. Cyber threat intelligence services provide you with essential visibility of exactly how a threat actor may be planning an attack, so you can take the best course of action.

How is security threat intelligence carried out?

We carry out our security threat intelligence process in the following steps.

We work closely with you to define the requirements for your cyber threat intelligence services, designing your service around your organization’s goals.

We harness a range of automated and manual cyber threat intelligence techniques to collect valuable intelligence on potential tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs).

We prepare our raw data points for analysis, such as translating information from foreign sources and evaluating it for relevance.

Once the data has been processed, we analyse it in line with your objectives.

We deliver monthly reports that provide a clear overview and breakdown of your insights. Our investigators provide a tailored analysis for your organization and are on hand to give expert guidance.

What are the types of threat intelligence?

Our Cyber Threat Intelligence services utilise a range of important data sources. This includes the following types of cyber threat intelligence: Email Harvesting, Typo-Squatting, IP/Domain Blacklisting, and Compromised Account Harvesting.

Email Harvesting

Using public data sources, such as social media accounts, leaked email lists, or simply guessing, threat actors attempt to harvest your organization’s email addresses for the purposes of launching email phishing campaigns.

We can use advanced open source intelligence (OSINT) techniques to establish how a threat actor could obtain your personnel’s email addresses, so you can gain visibility and mitigate your risk of compromise.

Features:

  • Thorough investigation spanning the surface, deep, and dark web
  • Harvesting using manual and automated OSINT techniques
  • Expert analysis and validation

Typo-squatting

Threat actors can register rogue domains that appear similar to those of genuine organizations. This is known as ‘typo-squatting’ and is used to launch a range of attacks, including phishing campaigns.

Features:

  • Cracks down on the registration of suspicious domains.
  • Continuous service offering greater awareness of attack indicators using early warnings and predictions of potential attacks
  • Investigates possible permutations of your domain that have been registered with ‘A’ records (IP addresses) and ‘MX records’ (mail addresses)

Domain Blacklisting

If your organization’s internet infrastructure appears on bad-reputation lists, also known as ‘blacklists’, this could indicate infected or compromised corporate endpoints.

Features:

  • Regular analysis of a wide range of reputation lists
  • Leverages automation to quickly search and identify blacklist entries from hundreds of information sources
  • Rapid alerting when any nominated IP/Domains appear on our monitored blacklists

Cyber Threat Intelligence and Incident Response

Cyber threat intelligence and incident response plans work hand in hand. Cyber threat intel plays a vital role at each stage of incident response.

  1. Preparation: Cyber threat intelligence helps you answer questions like ‘What sort of people would target my organization?’ and ‘How would they execute an attack?’.
  2. Threat Detection and Analysis: On its own, an alert to a potential threat is not particularly helpful. Cybersecurity threat intelligence contextualises alerts, giving you the insight you need to take action.
  3. Containment and Eradication: Continuously tracking indicators of compromise (IOCs) empowers you to quickly identify and contain a breach.
  4. Analysis: Once the data has been processed, we analyse it in line with your objectives.
  5. Reporting: We deliver monthly reports that provide a clear overview and breakdown of your insights. Our investigators provide a tailored analysis for your organization and are on hand to give expert guidance.
