It is no secret that many enterprises have struggled to derive measurable value from their threat intelligence programs.
In a recent study commissioned by Google Cloud, which surveyed more than 1,500 IT and cybersecurity professionals, 61 percent reported being overwhelmed by the number of threat intelligence feeds, 59 percent cited challenges in making intelligence actionable, and 59 percent struggled to verify the validity or relevance of threats. These challenges result in millions of dollars in wasted resources and leave enterprises exposed to preventable risk.
One of the key drivers of cyberthreat intelligence is the rapidly evolving nature of the cybercrime ecosystem. Building an effective threat intelligence program is inseparable from the frenetic pace of change as the business of cybercrime matures. Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that cybercrime will cost the global economy $10.5 trillion USD in 2025.
A new white paper from ISACA, “Building a Threat-Led Cybersecurity Program with Cyberthreat Intelligence,” provides executives, CISOs, security managers, and information security teams a practical blueprint for building or strengthening a modern threat intelligence program.
Done well, threat intelligence tells security where to harden controls, product where to close high‑impact weaknesses, procurement where to impose conditions on third parties, and executives where to invest.
