Recently, Frost & Sullivan assessed the cyber threat intelligence (CTI) industry and, based on its findings, recognizes Intel 471 with the 2024 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award. The company is a leading global CTI solution provider that drives growth by extending the impact of operationalized threat intelligence across various business functions. By addressing a broad spectrum of use cases, such as threat hunting, security operations, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), Intel 471 empowers organizations to align their security efforts with overall business operations. This comprehensive approach enables Intel 471 to strategically broaden its innovation scalability by expanding its solution portfolio to cater to both early-stage CTI maturity organizations and those requiring more sophisticated CTI solutions.
Intel 471’s cyber intelligence cloud platform provides customers with granular insights and finished intelligence on the latest cyber threats via a unified web portal or API integration. Intel 471’s external attack surface management (EASM) solution enables organizations to discover common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), such as internet-exposed hosts, expired digital certificates, and weak encryption, while continuously monitoring trends regarding newly weaponized CVEs. With its EASM solution, organizations can set up automatic alerts relevant to specific domains, monitor third-party external attack surfaces, evaluate vendor security postures, and monitor externally exposed information such as email addresses and compromised credentials. This comprehensive approach ensures that organizations gain the much-needed visibility of their digital footprint to secure it proactively. The SaaS platform’s core intelligence domains include:
- Adversary intelligence
- Malware intelligence
- Credentials intelligence
- Vulnerabilities intelligence
- Marketplace intelligence
- Cyber Geopolitical intelligence
Martin Naydenov, senior industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan, observed, “While many CTI vendors rely on third-party and open-source data, Intel 471 stands out for its human-intelligence-centered approach and timely, actionable reports. Leveraging a global team of skilled analysts, Intel 471 extracts insights directly from threat actors and conducts tailored research upon request, ensuring its intelligence’s relevance, timeliness, and exclusivity.”
Intel 471’s Collection Management Team (CMT) offers unique insights into attackers’ intent and motivation, aiding in the swift detection and prevention of breaches. This saves investigation time and costs and prevents payments for illegitimate ransom demands. By providing timely insights and detailed leak information, Intel 471 helps organizations understand breaches and adjust strategies promptly, enhancing their security posture and mitigating risks effectively. With Intel 471, organizations can continuously map out their digital assets, monitor various intelligence sources, understand adversary motivations, and identify vulnerabilities. Additionally, Intel 471 enables organizations to rapidly deploy advanced intelligence-driven threat hunting and detection, furthering its customers’ ability to operationalize CTI and proactively hunt for stealthy threats in their environment—threats that go undetected by traditional tools but can be identified and removed before greater damage is done.
“Intel 471 has established itself as a leading global provider of CTI solutions through its human-centered intelligence approach, capturing a significant global revenue share and achieving robust growth rates. Intel 471 enables organizations beyond just technology, serving as a trusted partner and offering services such as RFIs and threat hunt packages, supported by a team of expert analysts who provide comprehensive insights and protection against sophisticated threats,” added Naydenov. For its strong overall performance in the CTI industry, Intel 471 earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award.
