In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated. Attackers are finding new ways to breach security defenses and exploit vulnerabilities. As technology advances, so do the tactics and techniques used by cybercriminals. Gone are the days when simple antivirus software and firewalls were enough to protect against cyber threats.

The explosive growth in connectivity and the geopolitical environment is putting critical infrastructure around the world at risk. Connecting legacy industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems that critical infrastructure runs on to IT environments, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and out to the Internet makes it easier for cybercriminals and state-sponsored groups to gain access to systems and conduct malicious activities.

Government agencies worldwide are entrusted with safeguarding sensitive data and facilitating seamless operations across various critical infrastructure sectors. However, this pivotal role puts them in threat actors’ sights – from cybercriminals to politically motivated entities to state-sponsored actors from other parts of the world.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, organizations face a growing number of sophisticated threats. To stay ahead, they must leverage advanced threat intelligence solutions that allow organizations to not only provide comprehensive insights but also empower them to act swiftly and decisively against a wide variety of threats and vulnerabilities. Enter ThreatQuotient, a leading player in the digital threat intelligence management space.
