Cybersecurity threats can originate from anywhere globally, and each region has its own unique characteristics. For instance, North Korean APTs are notorious for targeted attacks against government infrastructure and critical services, while groups in former Soviet Union territories often run ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) campaigns like LockBit<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the threat landscape, it’s crucial to monitor threat intelligence not just from your local region but from around the globe. This requires access to specialized data sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Considered Global Threat Intelligence? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the table below we\u2019ve listed the aspects that a truly global threat intelligence source should include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n \n\n \n \n \n
\n Comprehensive data sources\u00a0 <\/td>\n \n Global threat intelligence relies on collecting data from sources around the world, and the more international organizations from different countries and regions contribute to the data source the more holistic picture it will be able to provide.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
\n Global monitoring\u00a0 <\/td>\n \n It involves monitoring cyber threats, malware campaigns, and other malicious activities that transcend geographical boundaries and have the potential to impact organizations worldwide.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
\n Global IOCs and event fields\u00a0 <\/td>\n \n The data source should provide access to artifacts or patterns that indicate a system has been compromised or is under attack, like IP addresses, domain names, file hashes, patterns of network traffic, or CMD to PowerShell commands associated with known malware.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n<\/div>
