"Threat Intelligence's Key Role in Mitigating Malware Threats"

According to OPSWAT, malware, one of the most prevalent and pervasive initial threat vectors, continues to evolve and become more sophisticated. Using malware as a foothold, threat actors infiltrate targeted infrastructures and then move laterally to gain long-term access, cause damage, or exfiltrate data. Organizations rely on actionable threat intelligence garnered through sandboxes and advanced malware analysis technologies and processes to effectively combat these threats. This proactive approach enables organizations to strengthen infrastructure defenses, improve incident response capabilities, and customize security strategies based on the threats they likely face. Sixty-two percent of organizations recognize the need to increase their investments in threat intelligence tools and processes. Only 22 percent of organizations have fully matured threat intelligence programs, with most indicating that they are still in the early phases or need to invest in additional tools and processes. This article continues to discuss key findings from OPSWAT's survey on threat intelligence.
