Cyber Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence is information about adversaries — who is targeting organizations like yours, how they operate, what tools they use, and what they are after. When it is relevant, timely, and actionable, threat intelligence allows you to defend against attacks before they happen, not after.
Most threat intelligence products provide a firehose of global data that your team has neither the time nor the context to use. CISO Consulting delivers curated, Saudi-market-specific threat intelligence that informs decisions your board, security team, and IT operations can actually act on.
The Saudi Threat Landscape
Saudi organizations face a distinctive threat environment shaped by the Kingdom's geopolitical position, its concentration of hydrocarbon infrastructure, and the pace of Vision 2030 digital transformation. Threat actors targeting Saudi organizations include nation-state groups, hacktivists, ransomware operators, and sophisticated financial crime groups with specific interest in SAMA-regulated institutions. Understanding this landscape — not a generic global threat picture — is the starting point for effective defense.
Our Threat Intelligence Services
Strategic Threat Intelligence
Quarterly briefings for executive leadership and the board providing a clear picture of the threat actors, attack campaigns, and geopolitical developments most relevant to your sector. Answers the questions boards and audit committees are asking: Who is targeting organizations like ours? What are their objectives? How have their methods evolved? What is our exposure?
Operational Threat Intelligence
Monthly threat intelligence reports for your security team covering active campaigns targeting Saudi organizations, newly exploited vulnerabilities in technologies you use, sector-specific phishing and social engineering campaigns, and attacker TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures) mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Dark Web Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of dark web forums, marketplaces, and paste sites for mentions of your organization, your domain names, executive names, and your data. Alerts when your credentials, customer data, or internal documents appear for sale or are referenced in threat actor communications. Critical for early detection of data breaches and account takeover campaigns.
Vulnerability Intelligence
Prioritized intelligence on newly disclosed vulnerabilities relevant to your specific technology stack — with exploitation status, proof-of-concept availability, and recommended remediation timelines. Eliminates the noise of generic CVE feeds and tells your team what to patch first and how urgently.
Brand Protection Monitoring
Detection of typosquatting domains, fraudulent social media accounts, fake mobile applications, and phishing infrastructure impersonating your organization. Common in Saudi Arabia's financial sector, where brand impersonation fraud targets both organizations and their customers. Includes takedown support for identified fraudulent assets.
Incident Intelligence Support
When you experience a security incident, threat intelligence is essential for understanding whether you are dealing with an opportunistic attack or a targeted campaign, identifying the likely threat actor, and understanding the full scope of what may have been compromised. We provide rapid threat intelligence support during active incident response.
NCA ECC Alignment
NCA ECC-2:2024 includes explicit requirements for threat intelligence as part of the Cybersecurity Defense domain. Our service is designed to satisfy these requirements and provides the evidence your auditors will look for: documented threat intelligence processes, regular intelligence reviews, and demonstrated integration of intelligence into your defensive operations.
