Procuring an organization's Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) portfolio is akin to navigating a night drive with no lights; there's no objective metric to measure its efficacy, understand its applicability to a specific industry or organization, nor is there a data-driven approach to combine services for protecting assets of an organization.

In many cases, organizations adopt the "More-is-Better" approach, assuming that accumulating redundant data will enhance security. However, this often results in increased noise, false positives, and a strain on costly resources due to high latency rates. Additionally, CISOs face limitations in development resources required for data ingestion, enrichment, and reformatting.

Conversely, some organizations place unwavering trust in vendors, assuming they possess comprehensive knowledge of all threats at any given time. While this perspective may seem reassuring, it fails to reflect reality. Most vendors specialize in certain threat domains, leaving blind spots in others. Organizational leaders are left with numerous unanswered questions: Which vendor excels in specific threat domains? What blind spots exist, and how relevant are they to my organization? It's crucial to recognize that the landscape of threats evolves rapidly, rendering yesterday's truths potentially obsolete tomorrow.

CTI serves as the foundation of the protection, detection, and mitigation lifecycle. Starting with poor or irrelevant data widens the gap and increases the likelihood of breaches. There's a pressing need for an objective method to curate CTI data with the highest efficacy, minimizing noise and ensuring that investments yield premium returns.

Ticura is not another CTI vendor. Ticura is a cloud-based solution that provides objective empirical analytics that enables a CISO to procure the most relevant CTI for their mission, while substantially reducing the false-positive noise, and reducing any development burden associated with ingestion. Ticura stands apart as more than just another Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP). We serve as the crucial analytical bridge between CTI vendors and sources, ensuring that your cybersecurity organization receives the most up-to-date, pertinent, and actionable information available before it reaches your TIP or any other consuming product. This ensures that your analysts work with the most current and relevant data to effectively safeguard your organization's assets.

How do we do this?

Ticura ingests nearly 800 free and commercial CTI sources in real-time, a continuously growing visibility into the Threat landscape. Even large security operation teams may only see 2-3 percent of this, Ticura sees it all as-it-happens. In addition, we assimilate threats, provide enrichment from all like threats, remove duplicity, and prioritize the information in a format that can be consumed without development resources. This all happens in real-time as part of our cloud-based analytics.

Our analytics provides several different flavors for organizations to identify their individual recommendation: We compare your current portfolio to nearly 800 CTI sources, while we can consider the relevance for actual security events from local logs or can base our analytics on a selection of threat types.

The results are a newly curated portfolio of Threat intelligence sources for which the customer easily understands objectively measured values of investment for each feed and savings in reduction of false –positives and the CTI lifecycle management. The super-enriched information is derived from hundreds of sources. As our data normalization is optimized to an organizational security environment it can be easily ingested without development resources.The ticura real-time calculator can be governed by budget, industry, geo-location, and considers a plethora of additional metrics specific to your organization. Our customers spend less, maximize resources, and minimize any gaps that underperforming data creates.

An optimal performing SOC starts with optimal data. Garbage in – garbage out is as true as it ever were and more relevant to CTI data these days.

Ticura can be deployed within minutes without any changes to your operations, trainings, planning, or resource consumption.
