Bridging Detection Gaps for Superior Threat Visibility

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, organizations face diverse threats, requiring sophisticated security detection tools. Despite having rich data, these tools often operate in silos, making it difficult to connect the dots between tools, teams, and the broader threat landscape, leading to potential blind spots that adversaries can exploit. This fragmentation makes it challenging to detect "unknown unknowns"—threats that are not yet recognized or understood—complicating the process of assessing your personal threat landscape.

We believe that modern cybersecurity architecture needs threat intelligence that is actionable and unique to your organization to enhance the detection stack.

Recorded Future Threat Intelligence Cloud Platform and Collective Insights™

Recognizing the need for comprehensive threat visibility, the Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud Platform bridges the gaps left by detection-based security architecture. By tapping into diverse data sources—from open source to dark web forums to network intelligence— it delivers actionable insights, empowering security teams to make informed decisions, including detecting malware families and tracking threat actors and their TTPs. This foresight allows organizations to anticipate threats, gauge their impact, and prevent them before they hit, rather than waiting to respond after an attack.

Recorded Future Collective Insights™ enhances security by integrating data from tools like SIEM, EDR, email security solutions, sandbox, and identity access management systems. This comprehensive approach ensures no threat is overlooked, enabling organizations to gain a precise understanding of their threat landscape across three key areas:

1. Known threats to your environment
2. Emerging threats in the wild
3. Threats impacting similar organizations

By integrating internal and external threat data, you gain a comprehensive view of threats unique to your organization. This holistic perspective deepens your understanding of the threat landscape, allowing you to improve efficiency and response.

Collective Insights in Action:

Case Study: Enhancing Visibility with Comprehensive Data Integration

Before: A manufacturing firm initially believed they had a comprehensive view of relevant threats to them. However, with the integration of their Microsoft Defender instance with Recorded Future, the security team uncovered unseen vulnerabilities, particularly related to certain malware strains.

After: This enhanced data integration provided actionable intelligence, including hunting packages and indicators of compromise (IoCs) to bolster their defenses.

By unifying disparate data sources, the firm significantly enhanced its security posture. This integration was crucial, optimizing threat detection and making the firm’s defenses more resilient against advanced cyber threats.

Case Study: Streamlining Threat Intelligence for Optimized Cybersecurity

Before: A major US retailer struggled to efficiently manage threat intelligence from multiple sources. Their overwhelmed security team often missed critical threats due to time-consuming, manual processes.

After: By integrating data from Crowdstrike with Recorded Future’s Collective Insights capability, they streamlined their threat intelligence operations, enhancing detection and analysis capabilities. The integration allowed for structured threat hunts and precise assessments, improving overall security effectiveness.

By consolidating data, the retailer's security teams could quickly identify and mitigate risks, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency. Manual threat research across siloed tools not only takes valuable time but increases the risk of missing critical indicators that attackers exploit.

Conclusion: Supercharge Your Security with Recorded Future Threat Intelligence and Collective Insights™

Security teams frequently express that “we don’t know what we don’t know” as a main challenge. The growing reliance on numerous tools and the massive data they produce can overwhelm teams, leading to disjointed information across systems. As adversaries become more sophisticated, these blind spots make organizations susceptible to attacks.

To bolster your organization’s threat detection capabilities, it’s essential to integrate data from existing detection platforms with actionable threat intelligence. The Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud Platform, driven by Collective Insights, consolidates data from multiple tools into a unified dashboard. This enables teams to efficiently identify genuine threats, prioritize urgent risks, strategize for future challenges, and maintain a proactive stance against attackers.
