Summary

  • A new report has highlighted the importance of threat profiling in helping firms to identify and prioritise potential cyber threats.
  • Threat profiling involves creating a profile of likely threats, including information about the objectives of the threat, the motivations of the attacker, and the tools that may be used, in order to develop a more sophisticated defence strategy.
  • The report argues that it is impossible to defend against all potential threats, so prioritisation is crucial in effective defence.
  • Threat profiling helps firms to move from reactive to proactive defence, better protecting their resources and security.
