While in the modern digital world cyber threats are constantly changing and becoming more complicated, vulnerabilities are growing because of protective efforts being conducted in a reactive way. The fact that threat intelligence lays the foundation for organizations to be proactive and prevent the occurrence of possible risks is what makes it observable. ESMS work on the main tenet of Ethical Hacking via educational approach. 

 Understanding Threat Intelligence

 Threat intelligence means correlation of data in one’s records by analyzing them systematically to predict and prevent existing as well as new cyber threats. It gives a perspective into the adversaries’ battle plan, methods they used and why. 

 Benefits of Threat Intelligence

 • Enhanced Situational Awareness: Threat intelligence allows organizations to be on top of the understanding of the nature of cyber threat applying updated security to these risks and to rank them in the security priorities. 

• Proactive Risk Mitigation: Organizations can pinpoint potential liabilities prior to fully materializing giving the opportunity to implement measures aimed at deriving the risks of a sudden and successful attack. 

• Improved Incident Response: Upon an incidental occasion, threat intelligence provides the needed context, getting detection, containment and remedy more effectively is facilitated. 

Implementing Threat Intelligence

 Create a threat intelligence group if you have skilled analysts concerned with the collection, analysis and distribution of the threat intelligence within an organization. 

• Leverage Multiple Sources: Get diversity of sources such as open-source intelligence (OSINT), monitoring of dark web, and specific kinds of threat feeds for particular industries in data as well as through the information-sharing communities. 

• Automate and Integrate: Utilize the automation equipment and add the already gathered threats to the existing security controls, for instance firewalls, intrusion detection / prevention systems, and security information and event management (SIEM). 

The modern cyber world trend toward adopting a proactive rather than reactive approach to cyber defense by employing threat intelligence is vital, due to the fast-advancing cyber threat landscape. Together with Essential InfoSec, organizations join hands to combat against the ever-increasing new threats, helping to protect their digital data and to keep their operations running smoothly.
