Threat Intelligence - An Adaptive Approach to Information Security

This article will detail the basics of threat intelligence gathering discuss various threat intelligence gathering methodologies discuss the basics of threat intelligence gathering as well as discuss various proactive threat intelligence gathering methodologies in the context of proactive security defense

01. Overview of Threat Intelligence

Threat intelligence is a multi-disciplinary approach to collecting processing and disseminating actionable threat intelligence for the purpose of ensuring that an organizations security defense is actively aware of threats facing its infrastructure so that an adequate and cost-effective strategy can be formulated to ensure the confidentiality integrity and availability of the information. Threat Intelligence is the process of collecting processing and disseminating actionable intelligence for the purpose of ensuring that an organizations infrastructure remains properly secured from threats facing its infrastructure. The collection phrase can be best described as the process of obtaining processing and analyzing actionable threat intelligence for the purpose of processing and disseminating the processed data. The collection phrase consists of actively obtaining real-time threat intelligence data for the purpose of processing enriching and assessing the data for the purpose of processing and disseminating the data.

The collection phrase consists of active monitoring of sources of interest including various public and privately closed community sources for the purpose of establishing an active threat intelligence gathering program foundation. The collection phrase consists of assessing and selecting a diverse set of primary and secondary public and privately closed sources for the purpose of establishing a threat intelligence gathering model. The collection phrase consists of assessing and selecting primary and secondary public and privately closed sources for the purpose of establishing an active threat intelligence collection model. The collection phrase consists of assessing the primary secondary public and privately closed sources for the purpose of establishing an active threat intelligence gathering collection model. The collection phase consists of assessing and selecting the primary and secondary public and privately closed sources for the purpose of establishing the foundations of the collection phrase.

The processing phrase consists of actively selecting processing tools and methodologies for the purpose of setting the foundations for a successful processing of the data. The processing phase consists of actively processing the threat intelligence gathering collected data for the purpose of establishing the foundations for a successful processing of the data. The processing phase consists of collecting the processed data for the purpose of establishing the foundations for a successful processing of the collected data for the purpose of processing and enriching the processed data. The processing phase consists of active collection enrichment and processing of the collected data for the purpose of active processing of the collected data. The processing phase consists of active selection of primary and secondary public and privately closed sources for the purpose of processing the collected data for the purpose of enriching and processing the collected data. The processing phase consists of active real-time aggregation of actionable threat intelligence data for the purpose of establishing the foundations of active processing and enrichment of the processed data for the purpose of processing and enriching of the processed data.

The dissemination phase consists of active processing and dissemination of the processed data for the purpose of communicating the actionable intelligence for the purpose of ensuring that an organizations defense is actively aware of the threats facing its infrastructure and security defense mechanisms. The dissemination phase consists of active distribution of the processed and enriched actionable intelligence for the purpose of active dissemination of the processed and enriched data. The dissemination phase consists of active dissemination and enrichment of the processed data for the purpose of establishing the foundations of an active threat intelligence gathering process. The dissemination phase consists of active communication and distribution of the processed and enriched data for the purpose of communicating the processed and enriched data across the organizations security defense mechanisms.

02. Threat Intelligence Methodologies

Numerous threat intelligence methodologies are currently available for an organization to take advantage of on its way to properly secure its infrastructure taking into consideration a proactive security response. Among the most common data acquisition strategies remains the active data acquisition through forum and communities monitoring including the active monitoring of private forums and communities. Carefully selecting and primary and secondary sources of information is crucial for maintaining the necessary situational awareness to stay ahead of threat facing the organizations infrastructure including the establishment of an active response response through an active threat intelligence gathering program. Among the most common threat intelligence acquisition methodologies remains the active data acquisition through primary and secondary forums and communities including the data acquisition through private and secondary community based type of acquisition platforms.

Among the most common threat intelligence data acquisition strategies remains the active team collaboration in terms of data acquisition data processing and data dissemination for the purpose of establishing an active organizations security response proactively responding to the threats facing an organizations infrastructure. Among the most common data acquisition strategies in terms of threat intelligence gathering methodologies remains the active enrichment of the sources of information to include a variety of primary and secondary sources including private and community based primary and secondary sources.

03. Proactive Threat Intelligence Methodologies

Anticipating the emerging threat landscape greatly ensures an organizations successful implementation of a proactive security type of defense ensuring that an organizations security defense remains properly protected from the threats facing its infrastructure.
