Industry-Specific Intelligence

Different industries face unique threats, and tailored intelligence ensures relevance and effectiveness.

A good example of an industry threat is a threat actor group known as Latrodectus.  They specifically target the financial sector and have honed their skills and resources to improve their chances of success.  To an organization outside of Financial Services, getting updates on this group specifically would be of minimal value.

Here are some examples of threats that are industry-specific:

  • Finance: Intelligence on threats like banking trojans, payment card fraud, and insider threats, with providers such as FS-ISAC offering sector-specific data.
  • Healthcare: Insights into threats targeting patient data and medical devices, with intelligence from sources like the Health-ISAC.
  • Critical Infrastructure: Detailed reports on threats to utilities, transportation, and other critical sectors, supported by entities like the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT).
