LONDON, UK: MWR InfoSecurity has released a CPNI and CERT-UK supported study entitled Threat Intelligence: Collecting, Analysing, Evaluating, that aims to remove the confusion around threat intelligence and gives vendor neutral advice that can be scaled to different sectors, sizes of organisation, and organisational goals. Whilst high on organisations' RADARs, little consensus exists as to what threat intelligence is, and many companies risk investing huge sums of money with little effect on security. The in-depth report, authored by MWR senior security researcher Dr David Chismon, breaks down the wide range of things marketed as threat intelligence into distinct types, and advises how to build and evaluate a successful threat intelligence programme - and crucially, how not to build one - as well as detailed advice on collecting, analysing, acting on and sharing the information obtained.
