The \u201c2019 SIEM Survey Report<\/a>,\u201d which focuses on the latest SIEM<\/a> trends, bases its results on an online survey of 417 cybersecurity professionals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, AlienVault and Cybersecurity Insiders collaborated on an earlier report: the \u201c2018 Threat Intelligence Report\u201d This report, which detailed the importance and prevalence of threat intelligence, received 381 responses from InfoSec professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how do the\u00a0\u201c2018 Threat Intelligence Report\u201d and the latest\u00a0\u201c2019 SIEM Survey Report<\/a>” compare? How do their findings complement each other? What can your enterprise learn from them both?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the key findings from these critical SIEM research reports by AlienVault and produced by Cybersecurity Insiders:<\/p>\n

The Threat Intelligence Report By Cybersecurity Insiders<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to the \u201c2018 Threat Intelligence Report,\u201d 77% of respondents reaffirmed the importance of threat intelligence to their overall security posture. However, 59% of businesses reported their current threat intelligence rated as average or worse. 41% rated their ability to detect threats as only average.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, enterprises deploying next-generation threat intelligence benefit from better threat analysis and more efficient security operations. Additionally, the majority of respondents, 33%, said false positives made up less than 5% of their overall security alerts with next-generation threat intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The top use cases for cyber threat intelligence include threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management. The other use cases include blocking threats, proactively hunting for indicators of compromise, and adding context to security investigations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the report, Holger Schulze\u2014CEO and Founder of Cybersecurity Insiders\u2014wrote a succinct\u00a0summary on the importance of threat intelligence; “Organizations are going to need these tools as they face cyber threats such as phishing, zero-day attacks, insider attacks, advanced persistent threats, and malware, and deal with challenges including the detection of advanced threats, gaining full visibility into all assets and vulnerabilities, and the lack of advanced security staff.”
