Global cybersecurity provider unveils Threat Informed, a new proprietary capability that captures and analyzes data posted to darknets
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 Whereas many threat feeds retain outdated information, CISO uses a proprietary methodology to verify that its threat feed is current and to ensure relevance and accuracy.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
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."
