Protecting against cyber-attacks is proving to be a real challenge. A few years ago, defence in depth was the recommended methodology to successfully fight cyber-attacks. Despite the proliferation of defence in depth mechanisms, a large number of high profile cyber-attacks are still observed. It's no surprise to anyone that all sensible business owners and world leaders are seriously worried about the impact of successful cyber-attacks against their environment. According to a survey by Forrester’s Foresights Security Survey in 2013, 75% of 490 companies agreed that cyber threat intelligence was a priority. The recent report “2015 Global Megatrends in Cybersecurity” sponsored by Raytheon suggest that most companies will deploy cyber threat intelligence over the next three years as a measure against cyber-attacks.
