Cyber risk assessments are traditionally perimeter-centric, ignoring the organization's dynamic adversarial threat landscape and affected by geo-political, economic, and technological factors. While ISO 27002 now requires organizations to collect and analyze cyber threat intelligence, only 30% include it as a critical component of their cybersecurity operating model. Evaluating the threat landscape provides full visibility into ongoing and future forecasted threats, enabling strategic decision-making and improved cybersecurity resilience.
What is Cyber Insights?
Mastercard Cyber Insights is a threat landscape analysis and monitoring solution leveraging strategic intelligence to answer four key questions:
-
What is the threat landscape facing my organization today, and how is it predicted to look in the future?
-
Which threat actors will target my organization? What are their motivations, skill levels, and resources?
-
What attack methods will be utilized against my organization, and what business assets will they target?
-
Based on the landscape, how can I take action to improve my cyber resiliency and mitigate emerging attacks?
By evaluating their dynamic threat landscape, organizations can understand ongoing and future threats and improve their cyber resilience, leading to:
- Higher Visibility: Identify future threat trends connected to your dynamic landscape and correctly predict how external risks and events will impact your business operations,
- Lower Risk: Reduce the risk of cyber attacks by identifying and understanding the likely attackers and scenarios facing your business and receiving insights to take protective action effectively,
- Higher Resilience: Improve your existing cybersecurity infrastructure and controls and invest efficiently and accurately based on the forecasted threat landscape and existing cybersecurity gaps.
Cyber Insights continuously evaluates your organization's dynamic threat landscape by leveraging strategic threat intelligence to gain visibility into ongoing and predicted attack trends. You can gain insights and context into emerging threats, leading to lower risk through proactive mitigation and improved cybersecurity resilience. In addition, Cyber Insights runs automatically to provide tailored threat landscape scenarios:
With Cyber Insights, you can quickly make sense of strategic threat intelligence from thousands of qualified sources:
- Perform cyberattack trend big-data analysis and pattern analysis, with the attributes of the attacker, attack method (TTP), geo-political region, targeted industry, targeted asset, and timeframe at the strategic and operational intelligence levels,
-
Forecast attacker and attack-method behavior for up to a month into the future,
-
Separate “the wheat from the chaff” by automatically scraping and processing relevant data from curated clear, deep, and dark-web sources rather than huge amounts of noise,
-
Focus on relevant data only, gaining insights into the organization’s threat landscape and enabling mitigation actions based on its trends.
