Cyber threats vary greatly and so do the methods of attack. To counter those various sources, organizations need intelligence to fortify themselves from both internal and external threats. Organizations face five critical sources of cyber danger:
• Commercial and industrial cyber espionage for theft and competitive advantage
• Government cyber espionage for technical and political advantage
• Organized crime for financial gain through the acquisition and theft of data and goods
• Terrorist activity designed to harm both businesses and governments, including damage to physical infrastructure by unauthorized entry to their industrial control systems
• Hacktivism of IT assets resulting in public embarrassment, loss of public confidence and damage to the value of the brand
