Group-IB introduces the Unified Risk Platform

It’s no secret that the cyber threat landscape has intensified. Threat actors are organized and professionalized, with ransomware gangs outsourcing the first step of their operations to Initial Access Brokers. This division of labor has proven profitable for threat actors, as the illegal sale of initial access to organizations grew 204% last year.

Cyber attacks are also causing an increasing amount of damage. In Group-IB’s recently released Ransomware Uncovered report, the average ransom demand has grown by 45% in 2021. And, it is not just ransomware that has become more sophisticated, as scam-as-a-service has intensified, as well. Cyber criminals develop and sell tools to create scams that can bypass common monitoring systems.

The reality is that the pace of cybercrime is accelerating, making it harder and harder for businesses to manage their cyber risks. Security teams are faced with the increasing challenge of identifying the specific threats they face, how to defend against them, and how to respond immediately in case of an incident. Inaccurate or out-of-date information will result in misplaced defenses, suboptimal prioritization of vulnerability management, false positives overwhelming operations teams, and slow response times to real security incidents.

To address these new challenges, Group-IB has developed the Unified Risk Platform, a comprehensive set of solutions that understands each organization’s threat profile and optimizes defenses against them in real-time. At the heart of the Unified Risk Platform is Group-IB’s Single Data Lake, which contains the industry’s largest and richest body of adversary intelligence. Every product and service in Group-IB’s consolidated security suite is enriched with intelligence from the data lake, enabling them to overcome the attacks targeting an organization and reduce organizational risk.
