Cyber threat Intelligence (CTI) Services

At Elev8 Resilience we offer a multi-faceted Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) service that covers all three critical aspects.

Operational Intelligence: Stay Ahead of Active Threats

Operational CTI focuses on identifying, analysing, and responding to current threats targeting your organisation. Our SOC provides real-time intelligence which is crucial for defending against active threats, enabling you to respond rapidly and effectively. Our team filters what’s relevant to your organisation, reducing noise and workload for your teams.

Tactical Intelligence: Strengthen Your Defense Strategies

Tactical CTI delves into the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers. By understanding these methods, we can help you to fortify defenses, predict attacker behavior, and enhance your incident response strategies.

Strategic Intelligence: Make Informed Long-Term Decisions

Strategic CTI provides insights into emerging threats, threat actors, and trends, enabling you to align your security strategy with your organisation's long-term goals.
