of threat intelligence
Every day, security teams are burdened with an abundance of threat intelligence, alerts and data about threats.
More information and data isn’t necessarily the answer.
Successful security operations lie not only within people, process and technology, but within the ability to turn our existing alerts and data into effective intelligence that enables us to make better decisions and lower business risk. Threat intelligence is about influencing decision-making at all levels of an organization to gain advantage over cyber adversaries.

indications
and warnings
Our Global Threat Intelligence Center (gTIC) is continuously researching current and emerging threat data, performing malware analysis, and other sources of intelligence that provide actionable insight about what is happening in the world. Whether looking at security events or other indicators of compromise, Optiv determines the use case of what we provide to clients based on our extensive experience and
research completed.
Optiv believes threat intelligence is more than just a list of IOCs
or threat feeds.
The difference is having Optiv in the middle, applying both intelligence and technology for better outcomes.
Threat actors will continue to exploit technology for malicious intent, and defenders will continue to make and deploy new technology.
Client Assets
