The new Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence service delivers instant customer updates on weak points within an organization. It provides the customer with information on threats revealed by numerous open sources and resources which usually have limited access as well as being enriched with results from Kaspersky threat research. Thanks to this, SOC and CERT security analysts can be aware of what cybercriminals are able to find out about their organization, and any attack vectors they are likely to exploit, to better prepare their defense strategy.
“Data is the lifeblood of business. It supports building strong relationships with stakeholders, improving products to fit customer needs and exceeding competitors, and any incident affecting sensitive information. Whether a targeted cyberattack leading to theft of a customer database or leakage of trade secrets — this can negatively affect a company’s reputation and result in financial losses. That’s why we have added a set of new services to the Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal so customers can keep up-to-date with the most relevant cyberthreats,” said Sergey Martsynkyan, head of B2B product marketing at Kaspersky.
According to the latest survey of IT security leaders conducted by 451 Research and commissioned by Kaspersky, the majority of CISOs (64 percent) agreed that speed and quality of incident response handling are the main metrics to measure performance in the role. However, as a company has numerous assets exposed online, it becomes harder for security analysts to keep everything in sight and react to the most significant threats in time.
Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence helps companies to understand the ways in which cybercriminals can successfully attack them, identify what information is available to an attacker and find out if their infrastructure has already been compromised by offering analytics on threats aimed specifically against the organization.
The service is built on insights from Kaspersky experts who have pieced together a comprehensive picture of customers’ current attack status, identifying weaknesses in the network perimeter, threats from cybercriminals, malicious activity and data leaks.
