Threat actors are increasingly targeting companies as well as their subsidiaries and third-party vendors. In 2023, over 72% of businesses worldwide were affected by ransomware attacks with Gartner reporting an increase in risks related to third parties. This rise in cyber attacks, including when vendors or partners are the initial targets, makes it harder for cybersecurity teams to effectively manage today’s ever-changing cyber risk landscape.
Challenges
Volume of data: As the cyber threat landscape continues to grow, so does the volume of data on such threats—including that which comes from deep and dark web sources. This makes it difficult for cyber threat intelligence teams to not only keep pace with large amounts of information, but to ensure they can extract the data most relevant to their organization.
Delayed analysis: Analyzing a high volume of alerts through labor-intensive, time-consuming human efforts can lead to missed data on pertinent threat actor activity, causing costly incidents that disrupt business operations and harm a company’s reputation.
