Cyber Threat Intelligence: Anticipate Threats, Strengthen Your Defence

In a digital landscape where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly targeted and sophisticated, Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is a crucial asset for stopping threats before they can cause damage. With Var Group’s CTI services, Swiss organisations gain deep, actionable insights into threat actors—their techniques, objectives, and the vulnerabilities they exploit.

What Is Cyber Threat Intelligence and Why Does It Matter?

CTI refers to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence on cyber threats.
Var Group leverages global intelligence feeds, open-source information (OSINT), proprietary data, and structured threat-sharing channels with national authorities (such as MELANI and GovCERT.ch) to deliver up-to-date, contextualised insights.

With CTI, companies can:

  • Prevent targeted attacks (including APTs, phishing campaigns, and ransomware).

  • Identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

  • Adjust their defence strategies based on real, emerging threats.

  • Equip the SOC and incident-response teams with timely, relevant intelligence.

 

How CTI Strengthens Corporate Security

A mature Cyber Threat Intelligence programme empowers organisations to:

  • Build more effective defence strategies by focusing resources on concrete risks.

  • Reduce operational disruptions and limit potential reputational damage.

  • Receive tailored alerts on newly emerging threats.

  • Enrich SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms with intelligence to enable automation and real-time responses.

In Switzerland—where companies in finance, industry, and healthcare are frequent targets—CTI delivers a strategic advantage against geopolitical risks, cybercrime, and supply-chain attacks.

 

How the Cyber Threat Intelligence Lifecycle Works

The CTI lifecycle includes the following phases:

  • Collection: Data from internal sources (logs, incidents) and external channels (dark web, threat feeds, CERTs).

  • Analysis: Identifying TTPs, correlations, and behavioural patterns.

  • Contextualisation: Tailoring threat insights to the organisation’s specific environment.

  • Dissemination: Actionable reports for CISOs, SOC teams, IT managers, and risk officers.

  • Execution: Updating policies, blocking IoCs, and enabling proactive response actions.
