Intelligence Analysis
Intelligence analysis plays a crucial role in cyber security by providing organisations with actionable insights into cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and risks. By leveraging intelligence analysis, organisations can enhance their ability to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats effectively, improve their security posture, and protect critical assets and information from emerging cyber threats and attacks.
Intelligence analysis involves collecting, analysing, and interpreting information about cyber threats, adversaries, and vulnerabilities to inform decision making and enhance an organisation's security posture. It involves the process of gathering data from various sources, identifying patterns and trends, and producing intelligence to support cyber security operations, incident response, and risk management.
How the Revio team runs an intelligence analysis:​​
​
-
Data Collection:
We collect data from a wide range of sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), threat intelligence feeds, security logs, incident reports, and malware samples. This data may include indicators of compromise (IOCs), threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), vulnerability information, and other relevant cyber security-related information.
-
Data Processing and Fusion:
Once collected, the data is processed and fused together to identify relevant information and eliminate noise. This may involve aggregating and normalising data from disparate sources, enriching data with contextual information, and correlating related events to identify potential patterns or relationships.
-
Analysis and Interpretation:
We analyse the processed data to identify emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and attack trends. We apply analytical techniques such as pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and trend analysis to identify key insights and implications for the organisation's security posture. We also assess the credibility, reliability, and relevance of the information to ensure its accuracy and usefulness.
-
Threat Intelligence Production:
Based on the analysis, threat intelligence products are produced to disseminate actionable intelligence to relevant stakeholders within an organisation. These intelligence products may include strategic intelligence reports, tactical alerts, and operational advisories that provide insights into specific threats, vulnerabilities, or emerging trends, along with recommendations for mitigating risks and enhancing security defences.
-
Information Sharing and Collaboration:
Intelligence analysis involves sharing relevant threat intelligence with external partners, industry peers, government agencies, and other trusted sources to enhance collective defence and situational awareness. Information sharing enables organisations to benefit from shared intelligence, collaborate on threat detection and response, and collectively address common cybersecurity challenges.
-
Decision Support and Response:
Our intelligence analysis enables cyber security stakeholders to make informed decisions about security investments, risk management strategies, and incident response priorities. Intelligence-driven decision-making helps organisations allocate resources effectively, prioritise security initiatives, and respond promptly to emerging cyber threats and incidents.
-
Continuous Monitoring and Feedback Loop:
Intelligence analysis is an iterative process that involves continuous monitoring of the threat landscape, feedback from security operations, and updates to intelligence collection and analysis methodologies. Revio analysts regularly review and update intelligence products based on new information, evolving threats, and feedback from stakeholders to ensure the relevance and effectiveness of intelligence-driven security measures.
