Threat Intelligence

Increasing awareness of the threat landscape is an increasing demand by organizations to help identify risk and reduce their exposure. Threat intelligence (TI) services provide knowledge about the cyberthreat landscape by documenting tactics, techniques, procedures, and profiling threats and threat actors. TI products assist organizations in collecting, aggregating, curating, and operationalizing their threat intelligence, and optionally sharing that information with outside entities. 

Security leaders must ensure their organization’s security solutions are updated with the latest content and provide contextual information to their teams to inform overall risk. TI enables organizations to maintain visibility over their threat landscape, and create timely, accurate and applicable insights that can be applied prior to, during and after threats present themselves. 

Ridge Security threat intelligence support: as part of an integrated threat intelligence solution, it enables organizations to frequently and consistently test their infrastructure, applications, and defenses, finding and mitigating weaknesses, gaps, and operational deficiencies faster. It acts like a human attacker, using sophisticated exploits to relentlessly locate exploits across an enterprise network, document its findings, and continuously measure results and effectiveness.
