We Offer Services Throughout the CTI Lifecycle

At Corporate Investigation Consulting, we offer a comprehensive suite of cyber threat intelligence services designed to empower your organization with proactive defense and effective response capabilities. Our experience spans the entire threat intelligence lifecycle, and we can provide tailored solutions to meet your unique security needs.

Threat Intelligence Collection and Analysis

We leverage a diverse range of threat intelligence sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), dark web monitoring, threat intelligence feeds, and human intelligence, to gather relevant and timely information about emerging threats, threat actors, and their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

Our skilled cyber threat intelligence analysts then meticulously process, correlate, and contextualize this data, transforming raw information into actionable intelligence reports and briefings tailored to your organization’s specific threat landscape. This service provides insights into potential cyber threats, enabling security teams to implement proactive mitigation strategies.

Vulnerability Assessments

Vulnerability assessments are a critical component of understanding your organization’s attack surface. Our consultants conduct thorough assessments to identify weaknesses and misconfigurations within your systems, applications, and network infrastructure.

By simulating real-world attack vectors, we pinpoint exploitable vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation efforts, and provide detailed recommendations to strengthen your security posture before malicious actors can capitalize on these weaknesses.

Incident Response Planning

Effective incident response planning is paramount for minimizing the impact of cyberattacks. We work collaboratively with your team to develop comprehensive and actionable incident response plans tailored to your organizational structure and potential threat scenarios.

We can assist with defining roles and responsibilities, establishing communication protocols, outlining containment and eradication strategies, and developing post-incident recovery procedures. Our goal is to ensure your organization can respond swiftly and effectively to security incidents, minimizing downtime and data loss.

Threat Intelligence Platform Implementation

To streamline your CTI operations, we offer threat intelligence platform implementation. We assist in selecting, deploying, and configuring leading threat intelligence platforms that centralize external threat data, automate analysis workflows, and facilitate seamless information sharing within your security team.

By leveraging threat intelligence platforms, organizations can enhance their ability to ingest, analyze, and act upon threat intelligence data efficiently and effectively.

Red Teaming

Our red teaming services provide a realistic simulation of sophisticated cyberattacks against your organization. Our ethical hacking experts emulate the tactics and techniques of real-world threat actors to identify weaknesses in your defenses, test the effectiveness of your security controls, and evaluate your incident response capabilities.

Red teaming exercises offer invaluable insights into your organization’s resilience and highlight areas for improvement that may not be apparent through traditional security assessments.

Security Posture Assessments

Our security posture assessments provide a holistic evaluation of your overall security maturity and effectiveness. We analyze your security policies, procedures, technologies, and personnel to identify gaps and areas for improvement.

Our comprehensive assessment delivers a clear understanding of your current security posture, benchmarks it against industry best practices, and provides strategic recommendations to enhance your overall security resilience and reduce your risk exposure.

Types of Cyber Threat Intelligence We Handle

Cyber threat intelligence focuses can be categorized based on their purpose and the audiences they serve. We can help you with a variety of concerns, including:

Strategic Threat Intelligence

This high-level strategic intelligence provides insights into broad trends, geopolitical factors, and the overall cyber threat landscape. It is typically consumed by executive management and helps inform strategic security decisions. For example, understanding the increasing sophistication of state-sponsored attacks can influence long-term security investments.

Tactical Threat Intelligence

This tactical intelligence focuses on the TTPs of threat actors. It provides detailed information about how attackers conduct their operations, the tools they use, and the vulnerabilities they exploit. This intelligence is valuable for security professionals, including analysts and incident responders, to improve detection rules, threat hunting, and response procedures. An example would be understanding the specific command-and-control techniques used by a particular ransomware group.

Technical Threat Intelligence

This is highly granular and technical information about specific indicators of compromise (IOCs), such as IP addresses, domain names, file hashes, and network signatures associated with malicious activity. This intelligence is directly used by security tools within the security operations center, like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify and block threats. For instance, a list of known malicious IP addresses used in phishing campaigns would be technical threat intelligence.

Operational Threat Intelligence

This operational intelligence focuses on specific ongoing or imminent attacks. It provides context about the attacker’s infrastructure, targets, and objectives. This type of intelligence is essential for incident responders to understand the scope and impact of an attack and to guide their response efforts. An example would be intelligence indicating that a specific threat actor is actively targeting the financial department of an organization.
