Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In my previous article I defined what is Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), described how to measure it and explained why it is important to implement a CTI program that can serve different stakeholders with different types of intelligence requirements in order to have a proactive security approach. 2022 was a productive year for ISO (International Organization for Standardization) security standards.

In the world of cybersecurity, it’s widely understood that threat intelligence must be “actionable.” Although this is true, it’s just one characteristic of what makes threat intelligence valuable to a business. There are several other criteria that must be satisfied for intelligence to be impactful. At Cyberint, we believe that impactful intelligence is the next step in the evolution of cyber threat intelligence.

Cybersecurity automation is a hot topic as organizations wrestle with the challenges of increasing attack volumes, cybersecurity skill shortages, and how to make the best use of limited resources to protect the enterprise. However, when it comes to implementing automation with a target of achieving extended detection and response (XDR), it can be hard to know where to start and how to build a case for investment.
