December Threat Intelligence Spotlight Report

Each month, our Cyber Threat Intelligence team compiles data from our engagements to determine key industry trends. We look at the initial access methods threat actors are using to gain entry into a network, types of incidents most commonly impacting organizations, which sectors are being more heavily targeted, and which threat groups are most prevalent.

Cyber Threat Intelligence Report: Top 4 Malware Targeting Finance

The finance sector continues to face sustained and evolving cyber threats driven by the high value of financial data, credentials, and transactional access. Malware remains one of the most common and effective mechanisms used to compromise financial institutions, payment platforms, and end users, enabling fraud, data theft, and operational disruption.

Leveraging Cyber Threat Intelligence to Empower SOC Teams

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are overwhelmed by alerts, often reacting to threats as they appear rather than anticipating them. Bitsight Threat Intelligence (TI) transforms SOC operations by providing external visibility, context, and correlation with real adversary behavior. By mapping incidents to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and monitoring the deep and dark web for emerging risks, Bitsight TI enables SOC and CTI teams to detect, understand, and prevent threats before they cause impact.

How Threat Intelligence Builds Shared Responsibility in Cybersecurity

Recent high-profile incidents, such as attacks in the retail sector or the closure of KNP following a devastating breach, have pushed cybersecurity onto the boardroom agenda. However, as it rises in visibility, a fundamental misunderstanding persists about how protection works. Responsibility for security is frequently concentrated on a few individuals.

How Cyber Threat Intelligence Shapes Strategic Investment Decisions

Cyber threat intelligence is an input that has become fundamental to companies that are making decisions about the allocation of capital, time, and human resources. Since digital systems are at the core of almost all business activities, having a good grasp of the enemy's actions, the places where attacks can happen and new risks coming up will right be able to affect and determine the company's direction in the long run. The investment matters today are not only based on the potential of the market or the effectiveness of the operation but also on the capability of an organization to predict and take cyber threats.
