What is cyber threat analysis?
Cyber threat analysis is the process of identifying and evaluating the properties of potentially malicious threats and files. Proper cyber threat analysis is a foundational priority for excellent, actionable cyber threat intelligence, Traditionally, security defenses strictly focused on granting or denying access at the perimeter. Evolved threats, however, use a series of stealth capabilities to avoid detection. Cyber threat analysis provides continuous assessment of files throughout their lifetime. If the analysis of the file identifies it as a threat at any point, the threat will be documented and universally blocked.
Key components for actionable threat intelligence
Threat history data
Cyber threat analysis and machine learning capabilities produce valuable insights. Both improve with larger data sets.
Automated detection
The Cyber threat intelligence system needs to be able to leverage these tools to automate action.
Cyber threat analysis
Designed cyber threat analysis, this presents new challenges that require more innovative cyber threat analysis techniques.
Using threat intelligence to see cyber attacks before they launch
We see the relationships between malware, domains, and networks across the internet. Similar to how Amazon learns from shopping patterns to suggest the next purchase, our threat analysis learns from internet activity patterns to automatically identify attacker infrastructure being staged for the next threat.
Attacks don’t just suddenly happen
attackers often reuse the exact same infrastructure (e.g. web servers and IPs) for multiple attacks — leaving behind cyber fingerprints. We focus our cyber threat analysis on identifying those fingerprints, so we can pinpoint current attacks and even uncover emerging threats being staged.
