Top security challenges facing organisations
Security leaders face growing pressure from multiple directions. While most organisations have security tools in place, many lack the visibility and expertise needed to identify threats before an incident occurs.

Challenges driving demand for Cyber Threat Intelligence
As cyber threats become more sophisticated and relentless, traditional security teams are struggling to keep pace with the demands of modern security operations.
Security leaders face growing pressure from multiple directions:
Escalating threat complexity and volume
Cyber threats are growing in both volume and sophistication, making them increasingly difficult for security teams to manage. AI-driven attacks enable threat actors to operate faster and at greater scale, while a rising number of identity-based attacks target users, credentials, and privileged access.
As threats continue to evolve, organisations must detect and respond more quickly to reduce risk and minimise potential impact.
Increasing regulatory and governance pressures
Security leaders face growing scrutiny from regulators, executives, and boards. Compliance requirements such as DORA and NIS2 demand stronger cyber resilience, improved reporting, and demonstrable risk management practices.
At the same time, boards expect security investments to deliver measurable outcomes that reduce organisational risk and support business continuity.
Overstretched security operations
Many organisations struggle to keep pace with the sheer volume of alerts generated by modern security environments.
Limited resources, skills shortages, and competing priorities can leave internal teams overwhelmed, making it difficult to distinguish genuine threats from noise, prioritise remediation activities, and maintain an effective security posture.
What is Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)
Logicalis CTI helps organisations understand who may be targeting them, what techniques attackers are using, and where vulnerabilities may exist before an attack is executed. Intelligence is validated by experienced analysts and transformed into actionable recommendations that reduce risk and improve security posture.
Logicalis CTI continuously monitors for:
Brand & domain impersonation
Protect your brand with continuous monitoring of domain impersonation, malicious advertising, and brand abuse, supported by evidence collection and unlimited takedown services.
SEO poisoning
Protect your brand reputation through continuous monitoring of search engines and social media, detecting fraudulent advertising and unauthorised brand use, with takedown support for confirmed threats.
Leaked credentials
Identify data leaks and exposed credentials across the public, deep, and dark web, using automated monitoring and risk-based assessments to prioritise remediation and reduce risk.
Perimeter monitoring
Continuously monitor online assets to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential security exposures before they can be exploited by threat actors.
Supply chain control (SCC)
Reduce supply chain risk through continuous monitoring of third parties and partner ecosystems, helping identify dark web threats and security issues that could impact your organisation.
Critical accounts exploitation
Protect high-value individuals through continuous monitoring for targeted threats and leaked credentials, helping detect unauthorised access attempts across both corporate and personal accounts.
Suspicious authentication alert
Detect unusual login attempts before they become a breach. Office 365 and VPN log accesses are checked against leaked credentials and correlated with reputation systems to assign risk and severity.

Quote from Artur Martins
“We are not waiting for the fraud to happen and then reacting. We are detecting the attack upfront — and that’s where the real value of Cyber Threat Intelligence is.”
What are the main benefits of Cyber Threat Intelligence?
Detect threats before they become incidents.
Many security operations teams focus on responding to alerts after suspicious activity has occurred. Logicalis CTI extends your security operations by identifying indicators of compromise earlier in the attack lifecycle.
With CTI organisations can:
Detect threats earlier
Gain visibility into emerging threats before they impact your organisation.
Cyber threat intelligence helps identify potential risks and indicators of compromise earlier in the attack lifecycle, enabling faster, more proactive responses.
Improve threat visibility
Build a more complete picture of your threat landscape by monitoring external risks, threat actors, brand abuse, and vulnerabilities.
Enhanced visibility enables better-informed security decisions and risk prioritisation.
Reduce identity and credential risks
Monitor for exposed credentials, account compromise, and identity-based threats across the public, deep, and dark web.
Early identification helps minimise the likelihood of credential theft leading to unauthorised access or data breaches.
Strengthen cyber resilience
Stay ahead of ransomware, targeted attacks, and emerging threats with continuous monitoring and intelligence-led insights.
A proactive approach improves preparedness and helps reduce the impact of security incidents.
Ease the burden on security teams
Filter out noise and focus attention on the threats that matter most.
Actionable intelligence and risk-based prioritisation help reduce alert fatigue and improve operational efficiency for internal security teams.
Support compliance and security assurance
Demonstrate stronger governance, risk management, and security oversight through continuous monitoring and reporting.
Threat intelligence can support regulatory requirements while increasing confidence in your organisation's overall security posture.

Cyber Threat Intelligence frequently asked questions
CTI combines a range of intelligence-led capabilities into a single service, helping organisations proactively identify, understand and respond to emerging cyber threats. Here are some common questions and key answers to help explain how CTI differs from traditional threat monitoring approaches and how it provides actionable, continuous insights to strengthen your security posture.
Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is the process of proactively collecting, analysing, and validating information about cyber threats targeting your organisation. It helps security teams identify potential attacks, exposed credentials, threat actor activity, and emerging risks before they develop into security incidents.
CTI enables organisations to detect warning signs early, such as leaked credentials, suspicious authentication activity, ransomware indicators, and threat actor tactics. By identifying these signals before an attack progresses, security teams can take proactive action to reduce risk and prevent compromise.
Cyber Threat Intelligence can help detect:
- Exposed usernames and passwords on the dark web
- Credential stuffing and account takeover attempts
- Emerging ransomware campaigns
- Suspicious VPN and login activity
- Threat actor indicators of compromise (IOCs)
- Signs of lateral movement and privilege escalation within networks
CTI complements Security Operations Centre (SOC) services by providing additional visibility into threats earlier in the attack lifecycle. While a SOC focuses on monitoring and responding to alerts, CTI helps identify potential threats before they trigger alerts, enabling faster investigation and more effective response.
Yes. Logicalis CTI integrates with existing security investments, including SIEM, XDR, EDR, identity management, firewall, cloud security, Microsoft, and Cisco security platforms. This helps enrich security alerts with actionable intelligence.
Cyber Threat Intelligence helps organisations identify and address security risks before they become incidents, supporting resilience objectives and regulatory requirements such as DORA, NIS2, and ISO 27001. It provides ongoing visibility into the threat landscape and enables more informed risk management decisions.
Dark web monitoring helps identify leaked credentials, sensitive company information, and potential threats being discussed or traded in criminal marketplaces. Early detection allows organisations to investigate exposures, reset compromised accounts, and reduce the risk of cyber attacks.
Logicalis combines analyst-led threat intelligence, SOC expertise, proactive monitoring, and remediation support within a single cybersecurity practice. Rather than simply generating alerts, Logicalis helps organisations validate threats, prioritise actions, and respond effectively to reduce cyber risk.
