The strong link between cyber threat intelligence and digital risk protection

Shutterstock While indicators of compromise (IoCs) and attackers’ tactics, techniques, and processes (TTPs) remain central to threat intelligence, cyber threat intelligence (CTI) needs have grown over the past few years, driven by things like digital transformation, cloud computing, SaaS propagation, and remote worker support. In fact, these changes have led to a CTI subcategory focused on digital risk protection. DRP is broadly defined as, “telemetry, analysis, processes, and technologies used to identify and mitigate risks associated with digital assets.” I’ve earlier examined ESG research on enterprise CTI programs based on. CISOs are investing here but challenges remain. I’ve also dug into the CTI lifecycle . Nearly three-quarters (74%) of organizations claim they employ a lifecycle, but many describe bottlenecks in one or several of the lifecycle phases. ESG defined cyber threat intelligence as, “evidence-based actionable knowledge about the hostile intentions of cyber adversaries that satisfies one or several requirements.” In the past, this definition really applied to data on IoCs, reputation lists (e.g., lists of known bad IP addresses, web domains, or files), and details on TTPs.
