Internet Think Tank's cyber security research and framework models improve approaches for defending against cyber attacks. Framework attack profiles describe the types of cyber crimes committed in the Internet theater. And some are trending stronger than ever before.
Cyber attacks are among the most challenging threats to organizations worldwide. Government agencies and companies are faced with defending against a wide array of cyber crimes, including system intrusions, fraud, cyber espionage, and piracy. Internet Think Tank research helps to address these challenges by developing frameworks for a comprehensive cyber attack response.
Security Information and Event Management
Before devising a cyber security solution, we start by measuring an organization's security information and events. We measure both potential and actual attacks to profile where an organization is effectively defending against cyber threats and where threats remain high. New defense measures are based on protecting high priority assets and tightening security vulnerabilities. These defense measures are structured into a response framework that evolves with changing threat patterns.
Developing a Cyber Security Response Framework
Every company has unique needs based on industry, organizational size and structure. Internet Think Tank models cyber security response frameworks that are based on unique parameters of an organization, whether it be in the public or private sector. In addition to assessing each organization's particular vulnerabilities and objectives, we also combine research findings of how cyber attacks are trending in specific industries. This allows cyber security modeling to incorporate defenses for emerging threats based on the lessons learned from other attacks across industries. Our research on trending attack profiles (types of cyber crimes most commonly committed) and attack vectors (specific methods cyber attackers use and who they target) provides a basis for critical business decisions to protect valuable assets that have a high probability of attack. It also can lead to forward thinking preventive measures that defend against future potential attacks.
