CORRECTING and REPLACING Cyware Survey Reveals That 92% Believe Threat Intelligence Is Critical — But Most Organizations Still Struggle to Operationalize It
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Headline of release dated May 20, 2025 should read: Cyware Survey Reveals That 92% Believe Threat Intelligence Is Critical — But Most Organizations Still Struggle to Operationalize It (instead of RSA Conference Survey Reveals That 92% Believe Threat Intelligence Is Critical — But Most Organizations Still Struggle to Operationalize It). 'Threat intelligence isn't just about collecting data — it's about connecting people, processes, and platforms to act on it," said Anuj Goel, Co-founder and CEO of Cyware. Share The updated release reads: Cyware survey identifies significant gaps in internal collaboration, tool integration, and automation — with only 13% confident their systems currently work well Cyware, the industry leader in threat intelligence operationalization, collaboration, and orchestrated response, today released the results of an onsite survey conducted at RSA Conference 2025. The survey captured insights from 100 cybersecurity executives and professionals across enterprises, government agencies, and service providers about how organizations are operationalizing threat intelligence across their security operations. The findings reveal a sharp disconnect between awareness and action: While nearly all respondents (92%) said collaboration and information sharing are either 'absolutely crucial' or 'very important' in the fight against cyber threats, the data tells a different story when it comes to the adoption of this practice. Only 13% said their current automation between cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and SecOps tools is working well, and nearly 40% struggle to coordinate data across critical security tools like Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs), SIEMs, and vulnerability management platforms. 'The RSAC survey data reveals a serious gap between that belief and the operational reality,' said Anuj Goel, Co-founder and CEO of Cyware. 'Threat intelligence isn't just about collecting data — it's about connecting people, processes, and platforms to act on it. These findings reinforce the need for more unified, automated, and collaborative approaches to security operations.' Key survey findings: Internal collaboration and automation maturity remain major gaps: While 92% of respondents said threat intel sharing is 'absolutely crucial' or 'very important,' only 13% said their automation between CTI and SecOps tools is working well. AI optimism is high, but its implementation is still uneven: 78% of respondents believe AI will improve threat intel sharing within their organization, but only 43% say it's made a meaningful impact so far. Threat intel sharing is not occurring in real time: Only 17% of teams share threat intel across roles like SecOps, IR, and vulnerability management in real time, while another 25% do so daily. 22% reported sharing information rarely or not at all. External threat intel sharing collaboration has much room for improvement: While 57% of respondents said their organization collaborates with industry peers to improve threat intel, 30% were unsure if such collaboration even exists. Automation gaps persist: More than half of respondents (56%) reported either significant or moderate challenges automating workflows across CTI and SecOps teams. ISAC participation is low or unknown: Only 18% confirmed that their organization is part of an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) or Organization (ISAO), while 45% said they didn't know. That lack of clarity could be limiting access to valuable sector-specific threat insights — and further compounding intelligence silos. The survey results reflect growing urgency to bridge the gap between threat intel awareness and execution. As cyber threats grow more complex and coordinated, Cyware is helping organizations unify threat ingestion, sharing, and response — powered by AI and hyper-automation.

Survey reveals gap between threat intelligence & execution
A new survey has highlighted a disconnect between the importance organisations place on threat intelligence and their ability to implement it effectively. The research, conducted by Cyware, collected responses from 100 cybersecurity executives and professionals working across enterprises, government agencies, and service providers. Nearly all respondents (92%) described operationalising threat intelligence as either "absolutely crucial" or "very important" in their organisations' efforts to combat cyber threats. Despite this consensus, only 13% of those surveyed reported satisfaction with their automation between cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and security operations (SecOps) tools. The survey also found that nearly 40% of participants experienced difficulty coordinating data between critical security systems such as Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, and vulnerability management platforms. Speaking on the findings, Anuj Goel, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cyware, stated: "The RSAC survey data reveals a serious gap between that belief and the operational reality. Threat intelligence isn't just about collecting data - it's about connecting people, processes, and platforms to act on it. These findings reinforce the need for more unified, automated, and collaborative approaches to security operations." Internal collaboration and automation maturity were flagged as key areas where organisations fall short. Although almost all those surveyed regard threat intelligence sharing as fundamental, only a small proportion felt their automation systems worked well in practice. Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as a promising area for improving threat intelligence processes, with 78% of respondents believing AI will enhance threat intel sharing within their organisations. However, only 43% reported that AI has already made a meaningful impact, pointing to difficulties in implementing AI solutions and integrating them into existing security processes. The Cyware survey also drew attention to the timeliness of threat intelligence sharing. Only 17% of teams said they disseminate threat intelligence among key roles — such as SecOps, incident response, and vulnerability management - in real time, while another 25% do so on a daily basis. At the same time, 22% indicated that information is shared infrequently or not at all, raising questions about internal communication and responsiveness to emerging threats. External collaboration with industry peers for the purpose of improving threat intelligence is another area identified for additional growth. According to the survey, while 57% of respondents claimed that their organisation collaborates with other companies in their sector, a significant 30% were unsure if this kind of peer cooperation even exists at their workplace. Automation challenges remain evident, with more than half (56%) of survey participants reporting significant or moderate obstacles in automating workflows across CTI and SecOps teams. This suggests that technical, procedural, or organisational hurdles are hampering efforts to scale effective threat intelligence practices. Additionally, participation in Information Sharing and Analysis Centres (ISACs) or similar organisations is relatively low. Only 18% confirmed their organisation is involved with such groups, while 45% were unaware of any such participation. The lack of engagement or awareness about ISACs could be limiting access to valuable, sector-specific threat information, potentially reinforcing the existing silos within the threat intelligence community. The survey's findings align with a broader trend: as cyber threats evolve and become more complex, organisations face mounting pressure to bridge the gap between recognising the importance of threat intelligence and actually executing it through internal collaboration, real-time sharing, automation, and peer engagement.

INE Security Alert: Top 5 Takeaways from RSAC 2025
CARY, N.C., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Comprehensive Training Platform Delivers Solutions for AI Security, Cloud Management, and Incident Response Readiness. Fresh from a high-impact presence at RSAC 2025, where INE Security welcomed thousands of visitors to its interactive booth at San Francisco's Moscone Center, the global cybersecurity training and certification provider is addressing some of the top cybersecurity priorities emerging from the industry-leading event. As an exhibitor that engaged with both frontline practitioners and top-level decision makers, INE Security gained firsthand insights into organizations' most pressing security challenges: the convergence of AI-driven threats, multi-cloud vulnerabilities, and increasingly sophisticated attack vectors. Four days of packed session tracks and face-to-face discussions with industry leaders pointed to a clear reality: a large majority of ransomware victims lack effective response plans, and even more security professionals have doubts about their organization's readiness for zero-day attacks. INE Security is addressing how a comprehensive training platform directly addresses the five most critical security imperatives that dominated this year's conference conversations. Top 5 Cybersecurity Imperatives from RSAC 2025 1. AI Risk Management Becomes Business-Critical AI security solutions dominated RSAC this year, signaling that as organizations adopt advanced response technologies, comprehensive training must keep pace. 72% of leaders report an increase in organizational cyber risks, with ransomware remaining a top concern, according to the World Economic Forum. Organizations deploying AI tools and Large Language Models discover their systems vulnerable to sophisticated exploits that can manipulate AI behaviors, leading to data breaches and system compromises. This shift demands immediate security expertise to protect AI implementations. 2. LLM Vulnerabilities Expose Enterprise Data Large Language Models (LLMs) emerged as a flashpoint at RSAC, sparking debates on the risks and merits. Despite the variety of strong opinions, what is clear is that LLMs are here to stay. They represent a new frontier for cyber threats, with critical vulnerabilities emerging from AI training data, model manipulation, and prompt injection attacks. The cybersecurity community at RSAC 2025 identified this as one of the year's most pressing concerns, with a large majority highlighting the advance of adversarial capabilities (such as phishing, malware development, and deep fakes) as their greatest concern regarding generative AI impact on cybersecurity. Organizations must understand and defend against these AI-specific attack vectors to protect their digital assets, creating new specialized job titles such as AI Security Analyst. 3. Multi-Cloud Environment Security Becomes Complex Across domains, cloud remains top of mind for industry executives. As businesses adopt multiple cloud platforms, security analysts face new challenges in maintaining consistent security postures across diverse environments. Research presented at RSAC 2025's cloud security sessions by the Cloud Security Alliance found that although misconfigurations appear in a majority of real-world breaches, over 50% of organizations rate them as a low-to-moderate risk. This gap highlights a growing disconnect between perceived and actual risk in cloud deployments. Researchers emphasized that IAM hygiene is essential, as are regular audits of the security systems in place. 4. Zero Trust Architecture Needs Proper Implementation While zero trust principles are widely recognized as essential, implementing them effectively across modern IT environments proves challenging. The RSAC 2025 conference theme 'Many Voices. One Community' emphasized the need for unified approaches to security, including zero trust implementation. According to Zscaler's ThreatLabz 2025 VPN Risk Report discussed at the conference, 81% of organizations plan to implement zero trust strategies within the next 12 months. Organizations struggle with identity management, access controls, and continuous verification across cloud services, remote workers, and interconnected systems, making it critical for companies to develop talent via cybersecurity certification programs. 5. Crisis Response Requires Comprehensive Preparedness When cyber-attacks succeed, organizations must maintain critical operations while containing threats. RSAC 2025 sessions on rapid incident response highlighted critical gaps in preparedness, while the Microsoft Digital Defense Report found 76% of organizations which suffered ransomware attacks in 2024 lacked an effective response plan. The role of cybersecurity analysts has evolved to include crisis response capabilities, making effective training in incident management a critical skill. Real world scenario training, such as INE Security's Skill Dive lab platform, helps build important muscle memory that becomes crucial during a crisis. Addressing the Challenges "After engaging with hundreds of cybersecurity leaders at our booth and participating in thought-provoking discussions throughout RSAC 2025, these five priorities clearly represent fundamental shifts in how organizations must approach cybersecurity," said Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security. "The conversations we had with practitioners and executives alike confirmed that traditional security approaches cannot adequately address AI vulnerabilities, multi-cloud complexities, or the sophisticated response requirements of modern cyber-attacks." INE Security provides practical solutions for each critical area: AI Security Fundamentals: Training on securing AI systems, understanding LLM vulnerabilities, and implementing AI-specific security controls Advanced Cloud Security: Hands-on experience managing multiple-cloud environments, implementing proper configurations, and maintaining security across distributed platforms Zero Trust Implementation: Practical guidance on designing and deploying zero trust architecture with proper access controls and verification systems Crisis Management Training: Realistic incident response scenarios that prepare teams to maintain operations while containing security breaches Continuous Skill Development: Access to 700+ courses and 50+ learning paths, and preparation for credentials from CompTIA Security+ to advanced professional certificates that help secure environments from modern threats "The energy and insights we gathered at RSAC 2025 reinforced our conviction that the complexity of modern cybersecurity demands organizations invest in comprehensive cybersecurity training," added Warn. "Our comprehensive training and cybersecurity certification platform ensures teams develop the expertise needed to address these challenges effectively."
