Threat Intelligence Efforts, Investment Lagging, Says Opswat

In an annual survey, 62% of respondents admited their threat intel efforts need stepping up.

Almost two-thirds of organizations said their threat intelligence programs need improvement and only 22% of surveyed respondents said they have
fully mature threat intel
programs, according to a report issued at Black Hat USA this week by security vendor Opswat.
And while few (11%) are currently using
artificial intelligence (AI) for threat detection
, 56% are optimistic about its uses going forward, while 7% remain skeptical of AIs value. Organizations face common challenges, according to the vendor: detecting known and unknown malware, dealing with inadequate solutions, and making do with compromised tools.
Opswat surveyed
300 IT professionals
who work in malware detection, analysis, and response. The survey reveals what organizations are doing to manage the threat landscape, the challenges they face, as well as their relative maturity levels and
how theyre preparing for obstacles
that will ultimately arise.
Threat intelligence plays a crucial role in safeguarding critical assets, Jan Miller, CTO of threat analysis at Opswat, said in a statement. Understanding the evolving threat landscape empowers organizations to stay one step ahead of malicious actors, and in this rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape, it becomes the critical strategic advantage.
