Global cybersecurity provider unveils
Threat Informed, a new proprietary capability that captures and
analyzes data posted to darknets
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CISO Global (NASDAQ: CISO), an
industry leader as a managed cybersecurity and compliance provider,
is expanding its capabilities by deepening its threat intelligence
feed and incorporating it into existing services. Named 'Threat
Informed', this new data stream mines the DarkNet, an overlay of
secret networks comprised of communication channels that can only
be accessed with specific software and processes used mostly by
malicious hackers, to identify cybersecurity threat intelligence
that is otherwise difficult to find and/or discern.
Leveraging proprietary DarkNet technology and other intellectual
property, CISO Global executes its own real-time, continuous
DarkNet searches, validating the security of its clients to ensure
they have not been compromised. Threat actors routinely trade in
compromised username and password combinations to execute malicious
attacks. Whereas many threat feeds retain outdated information,
CISO uses a proprietary methodology to verify that its threat feed
is current and to ensure relevance and accuracy.
"We have been focused on developing our own threat intelligence
as an organization for some time to improve on other feeds we
utilize," said CISO Global CTO Jerald
Dawkins, Ph.D. "We believe that the best way to leverage
this information is to offer it as an integrated part of our whole
solution set. Threat Informed is the result of top-notch thought
leadership on our intelligence team that is taking initiative to
ensure what we provide to our clients is an integrated approach to
cybersecurity."
Cyber adversaries heavily rely on stolen or compromised login
credentials due to their relative ease of accessibility. These
credentials can be procured on smaller communication channels
within the DarkNet, known as darknets, or obtained through
inadequate user password practices, such as recycling passwords
across various platforms, both for business and personal use.
However, the most reliable source for stolen credentials is from
darknets, where data thieves often post lists for use by other
malicious hackers.
Since threat actors often seek the path of least resistance,
this route involves the exploitation of illicitly acquired login
details. According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations
Report, stolen or compromised login information is the underlying
cause of more than 50% of all security breaches.
Threat Informed is part of CISO Global's ongoing effort to
innovate new ways to better protect its client base of 1,100
organizations spanning the financial, healthcare, retail and IT
sectors. Finding new sources of threat information in the wild
enables CISO Global to mine and correlate data to lessen cyber
risks for customers. This strategy is proving to be successful
given the rate of compromise among CISO Global's clients prior to
their utilization of its services.
This development comes on the heels of two other recently
launched flagship solutions, ARGO Edge, a cloud-first security
solution designed from the ground up to protect an organization's
users no matter where they are, along with CHECKLIGHT®, a platform
that utilizes continuous scanning to identify unauthorized
processes associated with fraudulent phishing attacks, hacking,
imposter scams, malware, ransomware and viruses. Actively learning
host systems, CHECKLIGHT® also studies new viruses it encounters,
developing unique defenses to protect the network and its users
through next-generation signature, behavior and machine learning
algorithms.
"We are committed to helping our customers drive continuous
improvement to make cybersecurity more effective," said CISO Global
CEO David Jemmett. "This new
capability builds on our existing IP and enables us to bring a more
holistic experience to clients that are looking for world-class
cyber techniques and strategies. With our newly integrated
intelligence feed, we are able to stay one step ahead of the bad
guys."
