The Ghost Brigade

Security intelligence is a results-driven approach to reducing risk that combines internal and external information about threats, security and business insights for the entire enterprise. The term "threat intelligence" is generally associated with information about threats to traditional IT systems controlled by the organization itself. This conception of the field is far too narrow. Innovative threat actors are constantly seeking to uncover weaknesses and devising new ways to penetrate or circumvent traditional IT defenses. Forward-thinking cybersecurity experts and IT groups have recognized the need to confront threat actors by uncovering their methods and disrupting their operations before attacks occur. Security intelligence must provide the timely, clear and actionable context needed to make rapid, informed decisions and the appropriate effective actions to address each security challenge.
