It’s no secret that the cybersecurity community is understaffed and overworked.

Analysts have to wade through cascades of alerts from tools that don’t do enough to automate data collection or eliminate false positives. Threat actors have grown more confident, capable, and persistent. And as the number of cybersecurity jobs continues to grow at a pace that fast outstrips the current workforce, one person often has to do the job of many.

In a white paper titled “Organizations React to Security Threats More Efficiently and Cost Effectively With Recorded Future,” researchers at IDC concluded that Recorded Future “provides a universal threat intelligence solution.”
