The Perfect Threat Intelligence Platform For You

Shopping for online security tools is an important decision facing small to medium businesses and large corporations alike. The right solution must be sophisticated enough to catch potential threats before they blossom into a full-scale security crisis. In order to shop for the right threat intelligence platform to meet your needs, first consider what those needs are.Your network and file assets are unique to you, so don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all security package. Sufficient protection only comes from a system that is both fast and accurate. Real-time alerts about <a href="{page_3219}">indicators of compromise</a> are necessary if you expect to respond quickly enough.A variety of different tools is necessary for comprehensive protection from the different malicious forces lurking online. Different technologies must be combined to get a full view of both manned and unmanned attacks like malware, suspicious login attempts, and traffic from IP addresses already identified as threats. Plug-and-play security software scans for known threat actors, but there are more clues to be found about who is trying to hack you on your network. Honeypots, phony entities set up specifically to study their visitors, should be employed as part of your plan. Look for a threat intelligence platform that can detect threats within and outside of your current firewall.Even small businesses must take their online security seriously. Cyber-security <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/2016/feb/08/huge-rise-hack-attacks-cyber-criminals-target-small-businesses" target="_blank">events reported by SMEs are on the rise</a>, as hackers discovered they’re an easier segment of the population to target. Smaller enterprises were for a time less likely to be prepared for an attack. In only the past few years, criminals have discovered the incentive for victimizing them is almost as strong.Getting on board with a state of the art cyber-security plan requires some initial consultations, or at least it should! Configuration should be performed by a well-trained security expert who sets up the threat platform with your own specific assets and workflows in mind. Quality training is a non-negotiable feature. Cyber-security education programs are not created equally. You, the user, play an important role in preventing security breaches. Conservative studies state that employee errors are linked to <a href="http://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities---threats/employee-negligence-the-cause-of-many-data-breaches-/d/d-id/1325656" target="_blank">80% of data breaches</a>. Support the people in charge of monitoring the notifications with the knowledge they need to interpret alerts individually and understand how they fit into the bigger picture of prevalent threats. The ideal threat intelligence platform will provide notifications that make sense and are actionable to the educated user.Leaders of innovation will continue to be at the head of the pack while others produce copycats after they see what is working. When you commit to a threat intelligence platform, you are beginning a relationship with its producers. Stick with the producers of the most advanced cyber security and you’ll be better protected from new threats.Budgeting is a concern for everyone, especially considering the economy in recent years. Before settling on a budget, bear in mind that cyber security events cause immeasurable damage. Many victims, some say <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/shivvy-jervis/cyber-attacks-business_b_5083906.html" target="_blank">60% of compromised SMEs go under</a> because they were unable to stay in business after being hacked. You don’t get another pass at making this investment after a disaster like a mass login credential exposure or leak of unique and proprietary works.It’s important to consider your needs against all the tools available when looking at cyber-security applications for your business. Some may assume the different offerings available are the same tool sold by equal competitors, so they commit to a network security plan based on branding and price. That is a misguided approach to securing your company’s greatest vulnerability: the entirety of all the various data assets on your network.There are a myriad of methodologies and models for managing threats and threat hunting by threat analysts.
