CIO Bulletin
Nowadays, there isn’t a single business that does not rely on the internet for some activity. The internet is used for delivering goods, marketing, placing orders, and interacting with customers. As a result of this reliance on the web, cyber attackers have gained an added incentive to target organizations, resulting in them getting a huge payday. Malicious actors are using complex techniques to steal data, conduct data breaches, and lock entire enterprise systems, with a large ransom being demanded in return for restoring the database. Cyberattacks are likely to increase in the foreseeable future, and as a result, businesses should consider recruiting a cyber threat intelligence system. This is when Cyber threat intelligence comes to the rescue. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) collects information about present and potential future cyberattacks and threat actors, which firms can use to improve their cybersecurity and weaken the probability and damage of future cyberattacks.
LookingGlass Cyber Solutions, Inc. is one such company delivering actionable threat intelligence to help organizations detect and defend at the speed of the attack. For more than a decade, the most advanced organizations in the world have trusted LookingGlass to help them protect financial systems, ensure telecommunications are cyber-resilient, and safeguard economic and national security interests. Rooted in operationalizing threat intelligence, the company’s solutions help reduce the time to detect and respond to incidents, enable cyber investigations, optimize threat hunt operations, and improve analyst productivity and efficiency. By linking the risks and vulnerabilities from an organization’s external attack surface to customized threat actor models, it provides a more complete view of cyber risk and enables systematic definition and deployment of mitigations to defend against the threats that matter.
Leveraging Robust Threat Intelligence Products to Combat Malicious Attacks
scoutPRIME®: It provides a holistic, always-on, “outside-in” view of the internet infrastructure you care about — your own, your third-party vendors, and your supply chain — delivering an assessment of your external threat landscape and providing continuous situational awareness so you can understand your current attack surface and risk exposure. With unique foot-printing capabilities and mapping tools, scoutPRIME accelerates the capacity for your analysts and operators to identify risks and vulnerabilities across the entire public-facing internet and overlays those findings with top-tier threat intelligence to highlight areas of concern — effectively operationalizing threat intelligence — to help you prioritize your mitigations and response.
scoutTHREAT™: It empowers your team to efficiently detect and respond to the most relevant threats to your organization. With an adversary-oriented focus to understanding your cyber risk using collaborative, threat actor modeling and risk scoring tools, your security team can continually process, prioritize, and rapidly operationalize incoming intelligence, improving the efficiency and productivity of your analysts and enhancing the efficacy of your cybersecurity program. scoutTHREAT offers automated ingestion and analysis of structured and unstructured threat intelligence, enabling your analysts to collaboratively develop and refine threat actor models by uncovering adversarial capabilities and motivations, tracking relevant reporting to highlight adversaries attacking sectors you care about, and mapping tactics, techniques, and procedures to personas and threat actors. Finally, senior analysts can compare these tailored threat actor profiles to your organization’s security controls and current mitigations to identify where to invest additional protection and resources.
scoutINSPECT™: scoutINSPECT™ catalogs your organization’s digital footprint by discovering all your internet-connected assets and their validated vulnerabilities, exposures, or risky services to enumerate your external attack surface. Regardless of whether those assets are on your network or in the cloud, scoutINSPECT can provide continuous surveys of your environments to monitor detailed information on your assets while compiling an attack surface history to highlight any changes to that inventory over time. scoutINSPECT can give you an adversary’s view of your inventory, including misconfigurations, exposed storage, and forgotten assets in your inventory – all issues that adversaries can easily find. By providing you with a clearer view of cyber risk, you can identify and prioritize mitigations before an attacker exploits those risks.
