Threat intelligence is a gateway into information about current or emerging threats that could negatively impact an organisation’s security.
The information gathered from Threat intelligence allows an organisation to make informed decisions to proactively protect and reduce risk to their digital and corporate assets.
An effective threat intelligence service also provides timely and reliable context to Security Operations, Vulnerability Management and Risk Management teams within an organisation.
Sapphire’s security analysts provide our clients with a compelling alternative to acquiring and building out an in-house threat intelligence platform, team and program.
With a specific focus on Security Operations, Brand and Vulnerability intelligence, Sapphire’s Managed Threat Intelligence Service gives vital context and actionable intelligence to in-house cybersecurity programs, risk management groups and executive communications.
Did you know?
Sapphire has 25 years’ experience mitigating cyber risk for some of the UK’s largest organisations. For our clients, this means access to the best possible people, processes and technology, all continually augmented to match a highly fluid threat landscape.
Sapphire provides security operations and incident response teams the ability to make fast, confident decisions based on genuine threats to their organisation.
We combine customer-specific threat data with the broadest range of threat intelligence in real-time, providing context and identifying new and emerging threats. Our SecOps service line ensures that relevant threat intelligence alerts and detections are supplied to customers based on the risk and relevance to their operations.
Detections include rich evidence, complete with our research and recommendations. Organisations can use this information reliably to quickly block threat actors or high-risk activity across the security infrastructure without needing additional validation.
Trend information illustrates detections and investigations based on risk and priority. There may be moments in the calendar that are critical to your operations. Gaining insight into how SecOps affects your organisation over time can help inform decision making. In addition, any business-critical times can be included as a metric within our analysis.
With Brand Intelligence, Sapphire can actively monitor and alert customers to all indicators of brand abuse, meaning the time to detect and take action is significantly reduced. Brand Intelligence gives customers actionable intelligence on the misuse of executive user personas, brand logos, website impersonation, etc.
We monitor 24×7 using the broadest threat intelligence data, helping to defend against new and emerging threats across their brands, products, domains, employees, supply chains and customers.
Our security experts monitor all aspects of the Internet, the dark web, hacking communities and criminal networks for brand-based misuse. We identify leaked company data and credentials, which may be for sale on criminal forums or ready to be weaponised in an attack.
We detect and provide takedown services of typo-squatting domains, often used in phishing campaigns to harvest user credentials. Sapphire will also conduct investigations into the sources of these domains, such as registration details or locations, to understand if the activities of the cybercriminal are active in other ways against your organisation, brand or supply chain.
The exploitation of known vulnerabilities continues to be one of the main reasons for security incidents and a primary focus area for cybercriminals. Patching is a sensible and achievable method to address this issue. However, teams are often unsure of patching priority and the real risk if vulnerabilities are overlooked.
Furthermore, many vulnerabilities are more prolific than others, and exploitability can change as attack vectors evolve.
Understanding the specific technology and systems deployed throughout an organisation allows us to specifically introduce threat indicators relevant to that business. We score a vulnerability’s risk based on real-time exploitation trends aligned to each of our customer’s tech stack. This gives us the context to alert and inform clients of critical and high-risk issues before they occur, reducing downtime and preventing attacks. Our team monitors vulnerabilities that pose the greatest threat to your business based on the likelihood of exploitation.
Vulnerability data is enriched with threat data from the broadest sources, including hacking communities, the dark web and Internet discussion feeds. We analyse how vulnerabilities adapt and understand which are being used successfully against technology, across different geographies, sectors, or even against individuals. Vulnerability Intelligence customers also benefit from using our Vulnerability Management as a service, enabling us to conduct continual vulnerability scanning across their environments.
