The State Of The Cyberthreat Intelligence Market

Cyberthreat intelligence (CTI) has emerged as a potentially powerful tool for S&R professionals who must defend their digital business from cybercriminals seeking to disrupt their operations and steal their most valuable information — their customers' data and their intellectual property. CTI promises to give S&R pros advance warning of cybercriminals targeting their region, their industry, or even their specific firm — with enough time to do something about it. Investors are eager to capitalize on the strong demand for CTI solutions and services: Since October 2014, CTI vendors have raised $102.5 million, and there have been three acquisitions. The vendor landscape is overwhelming, and S&R pros must separate fact from hype when it comes to investing in CTI offerings. This report details the flurry of market activity and provides S&R pros with specific recommendations to ensure that any investment in CTI lives up to its hype.
