Reiterate how Cyber threat intelligence was introduced to assist organizations to prioritize their responses, speed up their decision-making process as well as response time, providing improved security entirely. It is a part of cybersecurity that collects information related to cyber-attacks on any organization. It prevents data breaches and provides security. Its main objective is to spread awareness regarding cybercrimes among organizations and issue guidelines to prevent those attacks. In this growing world, there is massive raw data generated and an increase in the number of customers using online applications. Due to this, there are various threats emerging and are responsible for breaching data. Cyber Threat Intelligence has been started to address these cybersecurity issues.
Cybersecurity Intelligence is provided by various vendors and being used by different organizations to protect their data and follow security measures. It has proved valuable to every level of the state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) government entities from senior executives, such as Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), policymakers, and to those in the field such as law enforcement. CTI provides the information to an organization which can be used to access the previous and present threats along with forecasting the future threats. An example of when CTI was implemented will be in 2015, Amazon prevented a cybersecurity attack on its users. They reset the passwords of a few users and send the notification to them. This was done based on the information that the passwords of these users are improperly stored. Thus, it prevented a major cybersecurity breach from happening. In 2016, Uber prevented a similar attack from happening based on the intelligence report. The data of uber customers have been secured by following security measures. This was done after the security breach on the Uber drivers’ data. Likewise, uber was successful in preventing the data breach of its customers.
