Cyber Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence are fueled by frontline incident response intel and elite analysts to effectively hunt and respond to threats.
Utilizing frontline threat intelligence from handling thousands of cyber incidents every year, our team can deliver more visibility against emerging threats and offer actionable steps to minimize risk and protect against operational and reputational damage. Our experts bring their combined experience in the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, Fortune 100 and the National Cyber Forensic Training Alliance (NCFTA) to follow even the most obfuscated or opaque data trails.
Our analysts can determine the digital footprint of an organization based on intel gathered and analyzed from millions of data sources. We provide detailed insight into an organization’s digital exposure, which allows stakeholders to make better-informed business decisions. This includes:
How Threat Intelligence can Enhance Your Business
Digital Footprint Intelligence
- Would-be impact analysis of an incident for client and counsel
- Identify breach exposure and provide witness testimony as part of litigation
- Bespoke threat landscape briefings with actionable advice
- Cyber risk assessments and due diligence reports
- Social media and due diligence investigations
Kroll cyber threat intelligence analysts cross-correlate a variety of open source, private feeds and dark web data with frontline data collected from thousands of annual incidents worked on by Kroll experts, filtering out false positives, duplicates and general noise. This unique formula enables timely, meaningful and actionable intelligence that empowers more efficient hunting, improves threat detection, provides domain monitoring, helps in complex litigation, and can preserve organizations’ operations and reputations.
Example Engagement: Digital Footprint Intelligence
The Kroll team conducted a cyber security assessment and ran due diligence reports for a retail company that was looking to understand the cyber risks associated with the expansion of its digital footprint in a new market. Kroll helped the company identify region-specific threats, local litigation challenges and regulatory requirements. The insights were then used to inform decision-making, including risk mitigation strategies such as insurance policies.
Digital Threat Response
Unique intelligence powers our rapid detection, response and remediation capabilities during a cybersecurity event. We utilize data from our thousands of incident response engagements to help determine how to best respond. We provide:
- Investigative support to provide insight during an active cyber incident
- Client data preservation services if confidential data is leaked or exposed
- Real-time intelligence curation to report on new and emerging tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs)
Example Engagement: Digital Threat Response
A financial institution was targeted in a ransomware attack. Kroll was engaged for digital threat response, where our experts analyzed threat actor downloads, confirmed that the data was unique to the organization and assisted the company in understanding the access the threat actor obtained in their network and the data that was exfiltrated. This intelligence triggered further investigative action and public notification.
Digital Risk Protection
Example Engagement: Dark Web Monitoring
A manufacturing company identified unauthorized access to its systems and engaged Kroll for a forensics investigation. Using dark web monitoring, the Kroll team identified corporate information on an underground cybercriminal forum. This information helped us focus investigative efforts, helped the client understand what data was accessed and provided guidance on how to proceed with client and employee notification.
Cyber Threat Hunting
Utilizing Kroll’s proprietary technology and enhanced hunting model, our threat analysts can rapidly search and pivot on TTPs, IOCs and emerging threat indicators to quickly identify possible threats seen across various environments. Our cyclical hunting model follows six steps:
- Data gathering (threat intelligence)
- Hypothesis formation
- Hunt scoping
- Hypothesis testing
- Novel threat identification and threat neutralization
- Review
