If 2020 taught the security industry anything, it is this: There has never been a better time to be a cybercriminal. From extortion ransomware to cyberespionage campaigns, adversaries are capitalizing on uncertainty, causing chaos, and cashing in.
The only defenders who will win are the ones focused on proactively disrupting attackers’ activities.
Security intelligence is an outcomes-centric approach to reducing risk. It fuses internal and external threat, security, and business insights across an entire organization — and it is the most powerful weapon defenders have against threat actors. Now, there’s a handbook on security intelligence to guide you in this battle!
The Principles of Security Intelligence
For more than a decade, our work at Recorded Future has been grounded in three core principles:
- Security intelligence must provide the timely, clear, and actionable context required to make fast, informed decisions and take effective action as it applies to each security challenge.
- People and machines work better together — each works smarter, saving time and money, reducing human burnout, and improving security overall.
- Security intelligence is for everyone. No matter what security role you play, intelligence enables better, faster decisions.
During this time of significant change, we’ve added a forth core principle, and it has quickly moved to the top of our list:
You must focus on disrupting the adversaries most likely to target you — and make their lives as challenging as possible. Security intelligence is the most effective way to do this.
