  • Venafi Study: Machine Identities Drive Rapid Expansion of Enterprise Attack Surface

    Digital transformation strategies have led to an explosion of machines needing unique identities to connect securely. But threat actors have learned that improperly managed machine identities are an ideal way to infiltrate and attack organizations. Read this study to learn why SSL/TLS, SSH and code signing machine identities so appeal to cybercriminals—and how an enterprise-wide machine identity management solution can stop them.

  • Collaborative threat intelligence sharing improves cyber resilience

    This case study explores how a national CERT in an EU member state partnered with EclecticIQ to implement an advanced Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) architecture. The goal was to enhance collaboration and threat data sharing among government agencies, improve cyber situational awareness, and increase cyber resilience.

    Challenges included insufficient tools, limited security mechanisms, and a shortage of SOC and CTI analysts. EclecticIQ's phased implementation included threat data enhancement, operationalization, and collaboration. The TIP interconnected security operations centers, enabling faster threat response and efficient SOC operations.

    Benefits include improved threat data analysis, higher-quality intelligence, reduced false positives, and quick threat detection.
