Whether it’s a jealous partner, a disgruntled employee or a cybercriminal targeting your business, anyone with the right tools can monitor your location, read your messages or even access sensitive business data without you ever knowing.

Threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) offer valuable insights to help detect and prevent breaches. However, fully utilizing them can be challenging without the right experience or expertise. The good news is that there are strategies to unlock the full potential of your TIP, turning it into a strategic asset that helps you stay ahead of cyber risks and prepare for future threats.

Organizations that invest in threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) often struggle to use them effectively. TIPs are designed to collect, analyze, and share threat data, but they can become overwhelming or underutilized without the right approach. Our guide helps you choose a platform that aligns perfectly with your team’s skills and existing infrastructure, empowering you to respond to potential threats more efficiently and effectively.

Your employees might be the biggest cybersecurity risk in your business – and not just because they’re prone to click phishing e-mails or reuse passwords. It’s because they’re using apps your IT team doesn’t even know about.

This is called Shadow IT, and it’s one of the fastest-growing security risks for businesses today. Employees download and use unauthorized apps, software and cloud services – often with good intentions – but in reality they’re creating massive security vulnerabilities without even realizing it.

Data breaches are an unfortunate norm in today’s digital world, and traditional encryption techniques are no longer enough to prevent them. In addition, as businesses become more data-driven and regulations tighten, the pressure is on to rethink how we secure sensitive information, not just during storage but also throughout its entire life cycle.

A recent analysis of the most damaging software attacks revealed that many cybersecurity guides overlook critical protections, leaving systems exposed to threats. However, developers can adopt practical steps to enhance their defenses significantly.

Chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and the recently released DeepSeek have revolutionized how we interact with technology, offering assistance with almost every task imaginable — from drafting e-mails and generating content to writing your grocery list while keeping it within your budget
