Etek Targets Hacker Trenches For Intelligence Gathering

Etek International Corporation today announced its new Cyber Threat Intelligence service that provides organizations with predictive, personalized, contextual, and multi-layered information to help them proactively identify potential evolving threats from external sources such as the dark web, hacker forums and other closed communities that can impact the business turnaround.

Etek’s new service efficiently combines cyber intelligence with attack surface discovery and digital risk protection to prevent data breaches and cyber-attacks through a systematic approach that helps to quickly identify threats and apply corrective actions to avoid financial and brand reputational damage.

Etek International offers this Cyber Threat Intelligence solution through a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model providing complete visibility into the external threat landscape by monitoring the dark web, hacker forums, and various closed communities for threat indicators that reveal whether cybercriminals are planning to exploit security weaknesses that could lead to business disruption.

“Etek’s new service provides a comprehensive, real-time view into an organization’s threat landscape and contrasts it with regulatory changes, vulnerabilities, exploits, emerging attacks and news; our effort is based on adding value to our customers by complementing our existing Security Operations Center (SOC) offering with this innovative threat detection and cyber intelligence service from a single unified platform,” said Praveen Sengar, CEO of Etek International Corporation. “In addition to providing complete visibility into the external threat landscape, organizations can effectively prepare against upcoming attacks and prevent intellectual property theft or financial damage.”

Etek’s service is based on six fundamental pillars for threat detection and cyber intelligence:

• Attack Surface Discovery. Enables organizations to perform a realistic cost-benefit analysis of each asset to decide how to reduce the attack surface.
• Vulnerability intelligence. Ensures vulnerabilities are mapped to assets, and associated vulnerabilities are ranked based on criticality.
• Brand intelligence. Enables a complete view of brand breaches to prevent corporate espionage and internal and external threats from malicious actors.
• Digital risk discovery. Reveals in real-time digital footprints and phishing and data leaks cases, helping to close gaps and prevent any further damage to reputation or finances.
• Situational awareness. Provides a quick view of cyberattacks, incidents, and gaps in the customer’s industry, the technology used, and the region where it operates.
• Cyber intelligence. Organizations keep the enemies at bay by receiving early warnings to defend against attacks and prevent disruptions.

Through this approach, executives can make informed and effective decisions by identifying threat actors, recognizing trends in their activities, and fully understanding those events or situations in cyberspace that could put the business at risk and respond more quickly.
