State of Cybercrime Threat Intelligence 2022
TEL AVIV, Israel - August 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
KELA, the world's leader in preventing cybercrime, has released the findings from its new "State of Cybercrime Threat Intelligence" report.
Kela surveyed 400 security team members in the U.S. who were responsible for gathering cybercrime threat intelligence daily to better understand if they're proactively scanning the dark web and other cybercrime sources, what tools they're using, the gaps they see in their cybercrime threat intelligence approach, and more.
"We found organizations may be less prepared for threats emerging from the cybercrime underground than they should be," said David Carmiel, KELA CEO. "At KELA, our extensive intelligence expertise has shown us just how complex the cybercrime underground really is. The threats are much more comprehensive, and what organizations know and refer to as the dark web is changing within the hour. With these findings, we hope to proactively educate the security community about the state and future of cybercrime so they can stay ahead of the curve."
Key Findings:
- 69% are concerned about threats from the cybercrime underground.
- 54% wouldn't be surprised to find their organization's data on the cybercrime underground.
- Only 38% believe that they're very likely to detect it if it was released.
- 48% have no documented cybercrime threat intelligence policy in place.
- Only 41% believe their current security program is very effective.
- 49% are not satisfied with the visibility they have of the cybercrime underground.
- Of the 51% who were satisfied with their visibility into the cybercrime underground, 39% were still unable to prevent an attack.
- Additional training and proficiency in cybercrime intelligence investigations is the most needed capability.
