Why Cyber Threat Intelligence with Bridewell?
Bridewell’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) gathers information from our own threat research in addition to a range of open, private and trusted sources about current or potential attacks that are relevant to your organisation’s sector and operations. The information is analysed, refined, organised and prioritised by our cyber threat intelligence team so it can be used within your SOC, managed services and organisation to prioritise, minimise and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
This helps organisations take a more proactive approach to improving their security posture by frequently incorporating the latest threat intelligence to guide their cyber security programme and investment. Independent Threat Research. Our CTI team of analysts and researchers conduct active and ongoing tracking and analysis of threats, actors and techniques that builds our own intelligence at all layers.
Key Challenges Addressed
In recent years, the technical sophistication of cyberattacks has greatly increased, with tactics and attack infrastructure changing regularly. Because of this, mature threat intelligence solutions like Bridewell’s function at an operational and strategic level, rather than a purely tactical one.
Building an effective collection framework and ensuring the efficacy of threat intelligence is difficult, leading to a large amount of noise, false positives and a lack of real threats detected and prevented.
This focus on poor-quality technical indicators prohibits and minimises the use of threat intelligence in wider business and SOC processes, restricting its benefit and real value.
How it Works
Our threat intelligence analysts work closely with our or your Security Operations Centre (SOC) to develop a complete picture of your threat landscape.
Their work is underpinned by our own research, threat intelligence platform and collection framework, which uses automated and manual intelligence gathering to identify tactics, techniques and procedures, along with active indicators of compromise.
These insights are continuously shared with your business to maintain your awareness of potential vulnerabilities and risks, from advanced persistent threats to zero-day threats and ongoing attacks.

FAQs
Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is defined as "the actionable intelligence about adversaries, their tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs), and the vulnerabilities they exploit, that organizations use to inform decisions regarding their security posture and strategies."
CTI allows organisations to not only understand the current threat landscape, but also anticipate future threats. CTI can be used to support a number of security-related decisions.
Threat intelligence can be categorised as:
Strategic threat intelligence- Strategic intelligence provides a high-level view of the current threat landscape that can be used by non-technical/ executive audiences.
Tactical threat intelligence – Tactical intelligence provides insight on the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers.
Technical threat intelligence – Technical intelligence focuses on signs that a threat campaign is about to take place or is in progress.
Operational threat intelligence – Operational intelligence is used to anticipate future attacks and how they might unfold, allowing organisations to prepare appropriately.
