Recorded Future Helping Organization in Cyber World

The web is complex and is divided into three layers:

• World Wide Web: Surface layer, public, easily accessible
• Deep Web: Not searchable, dynamic, private, ephemeral
• Dark Web: Custom protocols, legal issues

There is a lot of information out on the web and some of the information like on the dark web might even be risky to access. In order to gain intelligence and assess how the threats impact Your Company, Your Industry, and Your Internet.

One needs to look at these goals first for their Company first in order to avoid immediate issues:

1. Direct risk (targeted or named; institutional vulnerabilities)
2. Indirect risk (vendor, service, or technology dependencies)
3. Actors, campaigns, tools, or tactics that targeted your company or sector
4. Internal inquiry (leadership, corp communications, or technical areas)

One can find trends in their Industry and find out more if there is a threat present in other companies already and investigate whether the threat:

5. Affecting multiple companies in your sector
6. Affecting a large company or leader in your sector
7. Affecting a direct peer (by market size, holdings, or geography)

One can even look to see if threat is brewing by doing some research on the Internet and asking:

8. Mass campaign (widespread, significant volume, or high level of success)
9. Has, or expected to have, significant media attention (inquiries expected)
10. New or significant actors, campaigns, tools, or tactics
