What is Cyber Intelligence?

​

Cyber intelligence is a vital asset for cyber security and operation centers in order to improve their skills in specific areas such as threat analysis and detection, prioritization and emergency response.

​

Every day, hundreds of private companies and institutions are being visited by cyber-attacks. However, when a general analysis is made, most of the companies who are under attack cannot detect these attacks and generate alarms. Even if they can detect the attack, they cannot make the necessary investigation and take an action.

​

At this point, lots of institutions and companies can prevent a cyber-attack with an intelligence service, which was bought, before it arrives, and a case occurs.

​

With cyber intelligence, institutions and private companies have the ability to monitor, identify, analyse and take action on the cyber world, crime/ criminal psychology and their identities.

Hacker (Cyber Attacker) Profile

​

There may be multiple vectors targeting corpo- rations and companies. The motivation of cyber attackers changes every year and for today the main focus is on “money”. Therefore, the data we have and the fact that these data can be con- verted into money in the world has become the main focus of hackers. Cyber attackers can target an organization directly or through malware. It is quite easy and has high probability that today’s cyber world is threatening us through attacks.

​

Hundreds of organizations are becoming the target of hackers every day in the world. Not only hackers, but also spies identified as “insi- ders” in the literature or former employees who worked together in the past but did not leave the organization very nicely. So, the only thre- at is not the cyber attackers out there who look out for our mistakes, vulnerabilities. Those who near us can also damage the image of corpora- tions or companies and lead us to great losses.

​

Necessity of Cyber Intelligence

​

Cyber intelligence is vital to taking precautionary actions before something happen and preventing them before they cause possible losses such as money and prestige. It also plays a critical role in terms of national and citizens security.

Hackers aim to use all the vulnerabilities and weak points, and target many countries, institutions, and citizens, creating lots of victims. Many cases can be prevented with a cyber intelligence service produced by analysing the whole world. Incidents can be prevented by using a proactive approach and, moreover, attackers can be trapped, and new intelligence can be obtained from them.

Cyber-attacks create massive damage both on prestige and on financial side. Through cyber intelligence services, companies and institutions can find answers to questions about what is being talked about themselves, what data is being shared, and what kind of cyber-attacks are being planned in the underground and over ground world.

​

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)

​

An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a prolonged and targeted cyberattack in which an intruder gains access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period of time. The intention of an APT attack is usually to monitor network activity and steal data rather than to cause damage to the network or organization.

APT attacks typically target organizations in sectors such as national defense, manufacturing and the financial industry, as those companies deal with high-value information, including intellectual property, military plans, and other data from governments and enterprise organizations.

The goal of most APT attacks is to achieve and maintain ongoing access to the targeted network rather than to get in and out as quickly as possible. Because a great deal of effort and resources usually go into carrying out APT attacks, hackers typically target high-value targets, such as nation- states and large corporations, with the ultimate goal of stealing information over a long period of time.

The result of APT attacks is massive money and prestige loss every time.
