CYBER INTELLIGENCE VS. CYBER SECURITY
“Being cyber intelligent means not only understanding who attacked you and how – but also why you were attacked and what the impact is to your mission or business.”
Cyber Security
Cyber Intelligence is a unique tradecraft that combines certain technical knowledge (e.g., network operations, communications, digital forensics, malware reverse engineering) and classic analytic skills.
​
CIP defines “cyber intelligence” as assessing an adversary’s capabilities, intentions, activities, and the use of this intelligence and counterintelligence processes, operations and information that are performed in or obtained through cyberspace.
​
Properly applied, cyber intelligence enables organizations to become better informed about the types of attacks they may encounter. The intentions and motivations of adversaries can be assessed to create a holistic cyber threat profile. This crucial threat understanding allows organizations to develop counterintelligence and security measures to better defend against these attacks.
