Intel 471 Adds Geopolitical Intelligence to Verity471 Platform to Strengthen Analysis and Mitigation of Global Cyber Threats

Advanced global reports and actionable cyber threat intelligence insights turn chaos into clarity for cyber threat intelligence programs

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Intel 471, the premier provider of cyber threat intelligence-driven solutions worldwide, delivers the newest release of its Geopolitical Intelligence solution to its Verity471 platform. This enhanced offering provides users with structured, actionable insights on countries and global issues to help organizations manage the impact of these dynamics on business operations, assets, stakeholder safety and strategic endeavors, all within its unified cyber intelligence platform.

According to the World Economic Forum, nearly 60% of organizations state that geopolitical tensions have affected their cybersecurity strategy. Geopolitics shape state and non-state threats in the cyber and physical domains, requiring organizations to continuously monitor areas of interest that affect their business operations and supply chain. Intel 471's Geopolitical Intelligence provides a unique lens into significant regional events, including changes in policy, leadership and technology, that enable organizations to anticipate risk, swiftly identify threats and take decisive action.

“Within the nexus of complex cyber threat landscapes and heightened geopolitical tensions, it is imperative that organizations understand their exposure to regional threats, along with threats to their suppliers, subsidiaries and M&A activities,” says Michael DeBolt, Chief Intelligence Officer at Intel 471. “Our enhanced solution, available via our next-generation cyber intelligence platform, connects the dots between cybercrime, nation-state operations and geopolitical developments. As a result, security teams and intelligence professionals can move beyond siloed threat feeds to proactively mitigate risks to their organization’s attack surface.”

Geopolitical Intelligence leverages Verity471's user-friendly interface, AI Reports Assistant and intuitive navigation to deliver rapid situational awareness, transparent country-specific risk scores and seamless connections between geopolitical events, nation-state actors, cyber underground activity and threat hunting operations. Additional core capabilities of the solution include:

• Comprehensive, contextualized view of an organization’s threat landscape: Intel 471’s expert analysts deliver nuanced, actionable geopolitical intelligence, providing organizations an intelligence advantage across the global geopolitical environment, conflicts, policy decisions, major events and high-level activity from state-linked cyber threat groups.
• Organized intelligence framework: Analysis in eight event categories – Social, Economic, Military, Political, Legal, Information and Technology, Cyber, and Environmental (SEMPLICE) – provide a framework for categorizing and organizing global events to ensure intelligence is relevant and easy to consume.
• Timely, actionable insights into global events: Daily Significant Activity (SIGACT) reports provide a concise event summary and expert analyst commentary on complex global events to clearly identify associated cyber campaigns stemming from geopolitical events.
• Picture intelligence summary (PICTINSUM): PICTINSUM plots SIGACT reports by location and SEMPLICE category, enabling pin-point visualization of an organization’s threat landscape and the ability to identify trends in incidents.
• Country-specific baseline threat ratings and security assessments: Intelligence Estimate reports deliver baseline threat ratings and security assessments for over 50 countries to help organizations strengthen internal data protection policies, support business growth, and confidently manage employee safety and third-party risk.

“One of the greatest benefits of the Geopolitical Intelligence offering is the talented team of analysts behind our insights,” adds DeBolt. “Our team is composed of regional subject matter experts who provide an unmatched wealth of cultural knowledge, native-level language capabilities and deep experience conducting doctrinal intelligence community-grade analytical methodologies. Integrating Geopolitical Intelligence into our existing portfolio - including our unparalleled human intelligence (HUMINT) and malware intelligence capabilities - enriches our insights and adds a layer of depth and nuance that automated systems alone cannot replicate. Armed with this fully contextualized intelligence picture, security teams can anticipate, understand and act, with greater speed and confidence.”
