What is Threat Intelligence and Digital Risk Protection?
Threat Intelligence is the process of collecting and analyzing information based on real events. This approach provides a deep understanding of threats, allowing you to update your defenses, anticipating current attacks.
Digital Risk Protection is an integrated solution of Threat Intelligence and risk monitoring, which allows further contextualization of external trends with the Client's technological assets.
Features of ISGroup's Threat Intelligence & Digital Risk Protection Service
ISGroup's service is fully managed, with analyses conducted independently by our Security Analysts, periodic reports, and presentations of results. Our Clients can benefit from two service levels, which include the elements detailed below.
Threat Intelligence Bulletin [LV1, LV2]
We keep you updated on emerging threats and relevant information for your organization.
New Vulnerabilities and Threats: Our bulletin provides analysis and details on new vulnerabilities, trends, attackers, APT (Advanced Persistent Threat), and threats, including ransomware and advanced attacks.
Protection Best Practices: We provide practical advice on how to protect your organization from critical vulnerabilities and threats, helping you continuously improve your defenses.
Data Breach Monitoring [LV1, LV2]
We monitor and detect data exposures and compromised passwords to prevent unauthorized access and protect user credentials.
Exposure Monitoring: We monitor data exposures caused by third-party breaches, malware, or phishing sites, detecting compromised credentials. Starting from an email address or domain, we will create a report with all exposed credentials, as well as detailed information on each Data Breach.
Stolen Password Monitoring: We identify compromised passwords in third-party breaches for a given user, allowing for quick intervention to prevent unauthorized access. We will create a report of passwords in clear text or hash format within the Data Breach.
Brand Protection [LV2]
We protect your brand from third-party online abuse by identifying fraudulent domains and typosquatting attacks:
Domain Search with Brand Name: We identify domains that contain your brand name, protecting your online identity and preventing unauthorized use.
Homograph Attacks: We protect you against attacks that exploit visual similarities in domain name characters (homography) to deceive users.
Protection against Typosquatting: We detect suspicious typosquatting and phishing domains, protecting you from malicious campaigns.
Attack Surface Protection [LV2]
We analyze and assess your organization's attack surface to identify macro-exposures and critical vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and Asset Discovery: We use Open Source Intelligence tools to identify and analyze the attack surface from the attacker's perspective.
Asset Risk Assessment: We assign a risk score to your digital assets, helping you prioritize security measures.
Why do you need it?
Corporate defenses cannot be designed statically but must adapt to risk actors and real-world attack methods today, not according to books that are years old.
This process is so important that it deserves a check in the 2022 version of ISO/IEC 27001 (Information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection), the most well-known and prestigious information security standard.
Therefore, in addition to meeting the control 5.7 Threat Intelligence of the new Annex A of 27001, you should consider this service for the following reasons:
Situational Awareness
Keeps the company updated on emerging threats and evolving attack techniques, allowing informed decisions based on accurate and timely data, also improving response times.
Strategic Planning
Allows long-term security planning by identifying trends and patterns that influence future strategies.
Resource Optimization
Enables more efficient allocation of security resources, focusing on the most relevant and priority threats.
Compliance and Regulation
Helps meet regulatory and compliance requirements related to cybersecurity, demonstrating a proactive commitment to data protection.
Collaboration and Information Sharing
Facilitates collaboration with other organizations and security entities, allowing the sharing of critical information to improve collective protection.
The positive elements you will gain with Digital Risk Protection are:
Attack Surface Management:With an expanding exposure, potential entry points for cyberattacks increase. ISGroup maps and monitors the entire attack surface, identifying vulnerabilities and implementing proactive measures to protect all access points.
Total Visibility and Control:Constant monitoring of your organization's attack surface, gaining complete visibility on potential entry points and improving risk management.
Fraud Mitigation:Fraudulent activities, both internal and external, pose significant risks to organizations. ISGroup helps you identify and analyze fraud patterns, allowing you to implement effective countermeasures and reduce financial losses due to fraud.
Brand Protection:Cybercriminals often exploit brand names to conduct fraudulent activities. ISGroup monitors the web to detect unauthorized use of your brand. This helps to quickly take action to protect your brand's reputation and prevent your customers from being deceived.
Reputation Safeguard:Protect your brand and user credentials, preventing fraud, phishing, and brand abuse that can damage customer trust and corporate reputation.
Response to Breaches and Data Loss:Data breaches can lead to severe legal, financial, and reputational damage. ISGroup continuously monitors signs of breaches or data loss, allowing you to respond promptly to protect exposed data and mitigate impact.
Data Exposure Monitoring:Maintain constant control over data exposures and compromised passwords, preventing unauthorized access and protecting user credentials. Receive alerts and detailed information on each detected exposure.
By integrating ISGroup's Threat Intelligence & Digital Risk Protection service into your cybersecurity strategy, you can effectively manage the attack surface, protect your brand, and mitigate fraud.
This comprehensive approach ensures a resilient and secure digital environment for your organization.
The risks of NOT using the Threat Intelligence & Digital Risk Protection service
Not using the Threat Intelligence & Digital Risk Protection service exposes your organization to several significant risks:
-
Lack of information and delay in threat detection:
Without Threat Intelligence, your organization will not have the necessary knowledge about emerging threats, leading to slower detection of cyberattacks. This increases the risk of being caught off guard by new types of advanced and sophisticated attacks.
-
Ineffective incident response:
Without detailed and actionable information, the ability to manage security incidents effectively will be compromised. This can lead to insufficient or poorly managed responses, increasing the impact of attacks and the duration of downtime.
-
Risk of non-compliance:
The lack of continuous threat monitoring and analysis can jeopardize your organization's regulatory compliance, such as failing to meet control 5.7 of Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
-
Financial losses and reputational damage:
Cyberattacks, data breaches, and fraud can cause significant financial losses and damage to the brand's reputation. Unauthorized use of your brand by cybercriminals can deceive customers and cause a loss of trust.
-
Unprotected attack surface:
Without proactive attack surface management, your protection may not be complete.
-
Increased risk of fraud:
Fraudulent activities can more frequently and successfully target inattentive organizations, putting user credentials, sensitive information at risk, and causing significant financial losses.
Choosing not to adopt this ISGroup service exposes your organization to numerous known and unknown risks.
Conclusions
In an ever-evolving digital landscape, ISGroup's Threat Intelligence & Digital Risk Protection not only defends but anticipates attackers' moves, ensuring your company is always one step ahead.
