What is the use of threat intelligence?
1. Security model breakthrough and improvement
Threat
intelligence-based defense thinking is threat-centric, so it requires a
comprehensive understanding of the threats to critical facilities and the
establishment of a new and efficient security defense system. Such a security
defense system often requires security personnel to have an in-depth understanding
of attack tactics, methods and behavioral patterns, a comprehensive understanding of
potential security risks, and to do so in a targeted manner.
2.
Emergency detection and active defense
Based on threat
intelligence data, you can constantly create signatures of malicious code or
behavioral characteristics, or generate rules for products such as NFT (Network
Forensic Tool), SIEM/SOC (Security Information and Event Management/Security
Management Center), ETDR (Endpoint Threat Detection and Response), to achieve
emergency detection of attacks. If the threat intelligence is IP, domain name, URL
and other specific Internet access attribute information, it can also be applied to
various online security devices to block and defend against existing attacks in real
time.
3. Security analysis and incident response
Security
threat intelligence can make security analysis and incident response work easier and
more efficient. For example, threat intelligence can be relied on to distinguish
different types of attacks and identify potential APT high-risk level attacks, so as
to achieve timely response to attacks; threat intelligence can be used to predict
the possible malicious behavior caused by existing attack clues, so as to achieve
rapid delineation of the scope of the attack; threat intelligence can be established
to search, so as to achieve accurate mining of security clues.
