The Quest for Cyber Intelligence Today, the issue with government cybersecurity isn’t thinking about it – it is doing so faster than cybercriminals. Too often, cybercriminals are several steps ahead of agencies on cyberdefenses and weapons that can breach them. Fortunately, agencies can keep up with the quickest-thinking cybercriminals. Using cyber intelligence, agencies can see the global threat landscape in real time. By detecting cyberthreat patterns, agencies are better prepared to identify, mitigate and recover from them. At any agency, enlightening cyber intelligence mixes behavior analytics, network visibility, and operational and threat intelligence. Cutting-edge cyber intelligence also combines emerging capabilities and agencywide strategies. In this section, we’ll describe four ways agencies can outwit even the craftiest cybercriminals using cyber intelligence.
