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.
