In our estimation, the analysis of disinformation is lagging about 10 years behind the field of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI). Despite the widespread acknowledgment that disinformation is a major threat, we lack the frameworks and governance to adequately address the threat.  In plain terms: Knowing about a threat has only

Our first blog about the use of AI in the intelligence cycle covered the cycle’s first phase, direction. AI in collection, the next phase, is our focus of discussion today.  Of all the phases, collection is easily the most routine, mechanical, or even atomic. Unlike with the direction phase, collection

Disinformation works best when blended with a drop of truth. Consider the Philadelphia Experiment (BS) combined with degaussing technology research (truth). Or microchips in vaccines (BS) with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study (truth).  The recipe is clear: Just as a spoonful of sugar makes the microchip-laced medicine go down, if you

We recently blogged about which AI form the CTI analyst should use, sparking a conversation at Elemendar about applying AI to the threat intelligence lifecycle. If we consider each cycle phase to have a beginning, a middle, and an end, at which stage/s would AI be beneficial, or not?  This

“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.” Donald Rumsfeld The above quotation has

AI has become nearly a household term. Its influence has seeped into multiple areas of our lives, promising direct benefits: significantly reducing errors in daily work, increasing accuracy and precision, and giving us freedom from repetitive tasks. Let’s take a look at how AI can play a supporting role in

For cyber defenders, generative AI holds a tantalising promise. Who wouldn’t relish the thought of a tool that can make intelligence workflows effortless and streamlined?  Take threat intelligence platforms (TIPs), which are currently essential for connecting the data, the analyst and the workflow they need to follow. But while powerful

The dust is settling on InfoSec London 2023, and in reflection we offer a unique insight to the discourse that’s been circulating. As a company that specialises in the production of artificial intelligence tools for Cyber Threat Intelligence analysts, we’re acutely aware of how AI tools are impacting the CTI

Ever read a classic crime novel? The villain’s identity only becomes clear after a couple of plot twists and turns. Attribution in Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) sometimes feels like that kind of detective work. For the cyber-threat analyst, gathering clues and assigning responsibility for cyber-attacks to specific individuals, threat groups

Disinformation and artificial intelligence (AI) are two topics that are quickly becoming interlinked. The boss of the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Jeremy Fleming, recently commented that AI could lead to an ‘explosion’ in disinformation.  Another concerning observation came from the credible Gordon Crovitz, Co-chief executive of NewsGuard: an organisation
