Security Intelligence

Security intelligence is a way to reduce the risk that takes into account both outside and inside threats, security, and business intelligence across an entire organization.

 

Why is it important to have security intelligence?

The main reason is easy to see: security threats are getting more complex. Hackers use harmful software applications and hacking techniques from the next generation to get into a company’s data center.

Faster threat detection and removal

Security intelligence helps firms discover and fix problems quickly. By correlating large data volumes in real time, they can discover the needle in the haystack.

Increased Accuracy and Compliance

PCI DSS, HIPAA, NERC CIP, and SOX are the driving forces behind IT security, whether you like it or not. Failure penalties ensure compliance gets attention and money.

This webinar elaborates more on cyber security best practice, current threats to be aware of, simple (and cost effective) measures you can put in place as the business owner(s) and areas to revisit in a regular basis.

The ROI of Security intelligence: possibilities and prerequisites

When trying to justify the return on investment (ROI), IT teams should also evaluate how well threat intelligence can be incorporated into an existing security architecture.

There is less fraud, theft, and data loss from insiders.

Insider threats can compromise intellectual property and even threaten national security.

How Can We Measure the Economic Value of Security Intelligence?

Every company’s security intelligence journey is different since security intelligence can be used for a wide variety of security, threat, and risk initiatives. Here’s just one example of how a worldwide retailer used security intelligence to increase security workflow efficiency by 50%.

Penetration Testing Scope

The Scope covers Web, Mobile Applications. VA PT testing is also recommended as part of risk assessment for information security compliances like ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ADSIC, NESA, ADHICS, etc.
VAPT testing covers the below scope

Vulnerability Assessment (VA)

An Adversary will use industry best standard tools, vulnerability scanners, methodologies, and as well as custom scripts and tools to conduct a thorough vulnerability analysis on the target systems and report them based on severity.

Exploitation (Penetration Testing-PT)

The results of the vulnerability identification are paired with their expert knowledge and experience, to finally conduct a manual security analysis of the target systems. The tester attempts to exploit and gain remote unauthorized access to data and systems.

Governments

VAPT security testing demonstrates real-world attack techniques against vulnerabilities providing unique visibility into security risks automated tools often miss. To ensure high-quality, repeatable engagements
