“Some threat intelligence solutions can be no different than URL filtering, merely contributing to the greater noise. Instead, good threat intelligence solutions are customized and able to deliver a high-confidence alert to initiate an actionable response. Peering out at what often looks like a world of shadows and hostility, security teams can see specificity as a key to the achievement of their best success with limited resources,” according to Gartner Research Vice President Greg Young.(1)
BRI broadens the scope of cyber intelligence beyond threat detection to provide relevant context to business units not traditionally afforded the benefits of intelligence viewed only by cybersecurity or security operations teams. This expansion of intelligence can help organizations address a myriad of potential issues, including insider threat, fraud, third-party risk, executive and employee protection, physical security, M&A integrity, money laundering, and, of course, traditional cybersecurity and incident response.
“Unlike other approaches that can only monitor known risks, our customers often report that we provide answers to questions they didn–t know to ask — thereby empowering them to mitigate risk at a much more strategic level,” said Josh Lefkowitz, CEO and co-founder, Flashpoint. “Enterprises need to protect their ability to operate. They must make better, more informed decisions around risk, and to do so they need a solution that can give them immediate visibility into real threats and the context to help them understand how these threats could impact their business.”
