Cyber Threat

What are Cyber Threats?

Generally, a threat is any circumstance or event capable of negatively impacting organizational operations, including its mission, functions, image, or reputation. Threats can come from various sources, including cybercriminals, insider threats, natural disasters, and human error. A cyber threat can occur through an information system via unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure, modification of information, or denial of service. Essentially, it is the potential for a threat source (aka an adversary or threat actor) to successfully exploit a particular vulnerability to compromise an information system (or people, too). 

Examples of cyber threats include:

  • Ransomware
  • Data Breach
  • Insider Threat
  • Malware
  • Phishing
  • Cloud Security Vulnerabilities
  • Social Engineering
  • Third-Party Risk
  • Poor Cyber Hygiene
  • AI-Powered Attacks

Effective threat management is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of your organization’s assets and operations. Security teams can proactively protect their information systems and mitigate potential risks by understanding and identifying threats.

Using ThreatConnect To Combat Against Cyber Threats

With the ThreatConnect TI Ops Platform, analysts can detect and respond to threats before they impact the organization. ThreatConnect aggregates and normalizes data from internal and external sources, enriching intelligence with real-time insights from CAL™, our innovative analytics and global intelligence that uses Generative AI, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning (ML). Automate tasks and easily access data so security teams can share the information and tools with other team members for faster decision-making.

Additionally, it offers features and use cases such as:

Unified Threat Library –  serves as a comprehensive source of threat intelligence that is adaptable to your needs and capable of handling vast amounts of data. It standardizes and streamlines threat intel, ensuring it is clean, de-duplicated, and archived for use by Threat Intel and SecOps teams.

Threat Graph – allows analysts to build a visual picture of their intel and relationships, pivot, and explore deeper across the Threat Library, maximizing insights into threat actors and their operations. 

Built-In Reporting – Sharing threat intel with security operations and cyber risk leaders is vital for timely, data-driven decisions.  Reporting built directly into the platform enables analysts to easily create, share, and manage actionable reports.
