How Can Cobwebs' OSINT Improve Corporate Security?

While vaccines curbed the spread of the coronavirus, cyber viruses and threats have continued to snowball. They've included data breaches, phishing, organizational email compromise, impersonation, malware, ransomware, DDoS attacks, zero-day exploits (a software vulnerability attackers discover before anyone else and for which no patch or mitigation is available), credential stuffing, and SIM swapping.

While vaccines curbed the spread of the coronavirus, cyber viruses and threats have continued to snowball. They've included data breaches, phishing, organizational email compromise, impersonation, malware, ransomware, DDoS attacks, zero-day exploits (a software vulnerability attackers discover before anyone else and for which no patch or mitigation is available), credential stuffing, and SIM swapping.

Then there are the cyber-enabled fraud and attacks which include money laundering, counterfeiting, credit card fraud, and gift card fraud. Cybercrime can also have an impact on physical security including doxing, harassment, travel and event attendance risks, and even terrorism.

Any of these threats can stem from the outside, from deliberate actions taken by professional hackers to third-party exploitations of vulnerabilities in the supply chain. They can also come from the inside - from a disgruntled or a terminated employee.

State of corporate security 2021

According to a recent report by Forrester Research, based on the results of a survey answered by more than 400 global risk and compliance decision-makers across the U.S., U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, only 29% feel confident in their risk management technologies, and 40% improvise as risk unfolds. Close to 70% say that risk information is siloed across different departments.

The use of OSINT can help improve this bleak picture. It can amplify the reach of corporate security efforts, provide a more comprehensive context to help avoid blind spots, streamline risk information sharing between departments, and deliver early risk indicators for security teams to react faster and more effectively.
