Purpose

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is the proactive process of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information about potential and current cyber threats to help in incident detection and/or prevention. In addition, we  support Syensqo stakeholders to make informed decisions and mitigate cyber threats to our people, systems, networks, and data assets. 

Main Responsibilities

• Data Collection: Gathering data from various sources such as open-source intelligence (OSINT) and internal security logs.

• Analysis: Analyzing collected data to identify emerging threats, trends, attack techniques, and indicators of compromise (IoCs) relevant to Syensqo.

• Contextualization: Providing context to threat data by understanding the threat actor motivations, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and their potential impact on Syensqo’s operations.

• Dissemination: Sharing actionable intelligence with relevant stakeholders within Syensqo to facilitate timely response and decision-making. Integrating cyber threat intelligence into Syensqo’s processes can enhance threat detection and response capabilities. 

Goals

• Early Threat Detection: Assist with the identification and detection of threats at the earliest possible stage, enabling proactive mitigation measures to be implemented before significant harm occurs.

• Risk Mitigation: CTI works directly with the Syensqo GRC team in order to help reduce the organization's exposure to cyber threats by providing actionable intelligence that supports informed risk management decisions.

• Incident Response Enhancement: Enhance incident response capabilities by providing relevant context and guidance to responders, enabling them to effectively contain, eradicate, and recover from security incidents.

• Security Awareness: Increase overall security awareness among employees and stakeholders by sharing insights into emerging threats and best practices for protecting against them.
