Today’s cyber criminals are able to achieve their aims using increasingly advanced tools and techniques designed to get around most network defences, go undetected during the intrusion, and then remain hidden on networks over long periods of time.
According to the Cisco 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report “Defenders are implementing a complex mix of products from a cross-section of vendors to protect against breaches. This complexity and growth in breaches have many downstream effects on an organization's ability to defend against attacks, such as increased risk of losses.
o In 2017, 25 percent of security professionals said they used products from 11 to 20 vendors, compared with 18 percent of security professionals in 2016.
o Security professionals said 32 percent of breaches affected more than half of their systems, compared with 15 percent in 2016.”
As such, it is essential for organisations to understand how they can effectively utilise threat intelligence to influence their cyber security strategies.
