ThreatQuotient’s Perspective on Security Operations and vision for AI in the ThreatQ Platform We’re all familiar with the “speed of cybersecurity”, the rapid pace at which cyber threats evolve and the corresponding need for timely and agile defense measures. We’ve been trained to understand the importance of quickly detecting, analyzing, and mitigating cyber risks to stay ahead of attackers and protect assets in an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world.
Cyber threat intelligence is a foundational piece of any organization’s security program, providing defenders with awareness of activities occurring in the threat landscape. Accounting for all threats an organization may face is a daunting and nearly impossible task. Some organizations may take the step to stay informed by following industry leaders or a news service.
In this series, you’ll hear directly from Vanta’s Security, Enterprise Engineering, and Privacy, Risk, & Compliance Teams to learn about the team’s approach to keeping Vanta — and most importantly, our customers — secure. The following post comes from our Security Team and explains our approach to threat modeling.
The persistent shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals which grew by 26.2% over the past year, coupled with the fact that global cyberattacks increased 38% in 2022, means organizations are increasingly looking to security automation to help the cybersecurity teams keep pace. In fact, 98% of respondents to our “2022 State of Cybersecurity Automation Adoption” survey say they have increased their automation budgets.
The rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity is witnessing the genesis of new paradigms, redefining the ways we perceive threat detection and response. Traditional approaches to cybersecurity are proving less effective against the sophistication of modern cyber threats. Among the many possible solutions, the integration of Threat Intelligence (TI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as an impressive contender, aiming to set a new standard in the industry.
While artificial intelligence (AI) has been the hot topic of this year, a theme that I continue to see is that AI is being used for good and evil. I'm going to dive more into key takeaways your organization can learn from Catherine Williams, Threat Intelligence Specialist at Telecom giant BT. Get her insights on AI being on two sides of the battlefield, and why everyone should start integrating cybersecurity in their everyday tasks now.
With the increasing frequency of cyber-attacks, businesses need to prioritize proactive early incident detection. In this blog, we will highlight the significance of a high-quality threat intelligence solution in building a well-rounded and proactive defense strategy.
