Advisory Report: An Overview of Resecurity with Emphasis on Cyber Threat Intelligence

This brief TAG report provides a technical overview of the suite of cybersecurity solutions from Resecurity with emphasis on how their advanced cyber threat intelligence (CTI) provides a foundational basis for their offering.

Introduction

At a time when virtually every organization we support at TAG is dealing with increasingly intense cyber threats, it’s become clear to us that reactive cybersecurity processes will no longer work. Instead, teams, especially in high-risk government settings, need to be more active in their approach to identifying and mitigating existing and emerging threats. This requires a rethinking of the technology and vendors involved in threat management.

We recently became familiar with the suite of commercial solutions from cybersecurity vendor Resecurity . Their approach to cyber, with emphasis on cyber threat intelligence (CTI) involves a more aggressive and involved stance on addressing cyber risk directly and is thus well-suited to modern threat trends. In this report, we provide an overview of what we have learned about Resecurity, including an overview of their solution suite.

An Integrated Approach to Cybersecurity

Based on our discussions and interactions with company principals, we have learned that Resecurity started with a holistic suite of cybersecurity solutions versus developing one targeted platform or tool. Their suite is often tailored to meet the unique needs of their clients, and they provide a surprisingly rich portfolio that spans across CTI, endpoint security, digital risk monitoring, and managed threat detection services.

The company provides a modular architecture that allows enterprises to implement solutions in phases, scaling as their security needs evolve and grow. This flexibility is attractive for many types of businesses and agencies of all sizes, enabling these organizations to maintain robust defenses while adapting to evolving threats and compliance requirements. As we will explain below, however, CTI is the foundation that drives support from Resecurity.

Threat Intelligence at the Core

Resecurity explained that their flagship capability lies in advanced CTI solutions. Recognizing that a static defense is insufficient against dynamic cyber adversaries, Resecurity has developed tools that provide actionable insights for customers, many of whom are governmental entities both within and outside the United States. These insights allow customers to stay ahead of attackers by identifying risks and vulnerabilities.

Since CTI is such a key aspect of the Resecurity offering, we spent considerable time learning how this is central to their solution, especially when supporting government agencies who must deal directly with adversarial nation-state threats. Below are five attributes we identified that make Resecurity such an attractive CTI partner, especially for customers who utilize the full suite of security solutions from the company:

1. Global Threat Visibility: Resecurity’s platform leverages data collected from diverse sources, including the dark web, deep web, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and proprietary feeds. This type of data aggregation provides customers with a broad view of emerging cyber threats – including global views.
2. Advanced Analytics and AI: By employing machine learning, Resecurity processes quite a bit of threat data in real time. These technologies enhance the accuracy of threat detection, enabling the identification of subtle indicators of compromise (IoCs) that might otherwise go unnoticed by security teams.
3. Contextualized Intelligence: Resecurity’s approach involves providing context-rich threat intelligence. The platform not only identifies potential threats but also delivers detailed analysis of their origins, motivations, and potential impact. This context is invaluable for security teams in prioritizing and addressing risks.
4. Dark Web Monitoring: Resecurity’s dark web monitoring capabilities are a strength. By secretly infiltrating closed forums, marketplaces, and chat groups used by cybercriminals, the platform uncovers leaked credentials, compromised data, and discussions about potential attacks. This type of early-warning capability allows organizations to remediate vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
5. Industry-Specific Insights: Resecurity tailors its threat intelligence offerings to align with the specific risks faced by various industries and sectors. This includes finance, healthcare, retail, and critical infrastructure. The platform provides sector-specific intelligence that addresses unique threat vectors and regulatory challenges.

Proactive Defense through Threat Hunting

Resecurity’s cyber threat intelligence solutions are complemented by its proactive threat-hunting services, all run by experts. These services help organizations uncover latent threats within their networks, including those bypassing traditional security tools. By combining advanced analytics with human expertise, Resecurity identifies and eliminates risks before they can escalate into full-blown incidents.

The threat-hunting process involves deep inspection of network traffic, endpoint activity, and system logs. Resecurity’s analysts, which are knowledgeable of unique intelligence through their surreptitious collection from private sharing groups, collaborate with client teams to pinpoint anomalies and trace their origins. This collaborative approach enhances the overall cybersecurity posture and fosters knowledge transfer within the client’s security team.

Digital Risk Monitoring and Brand Protection

During our discussion, the Resecurity team reinforced that cybersecurity extends beyond internal networks – which we obviously agree to be true. Organizations must therefore defend their external digital footprints, including brand reputation and customer data. To address this, Resecurity offers digital risk monitoring and brand protection solutions that identify and mitigate threats in external environments. Key aspects of these solutions include:

1. Domain and Phishing Monitoring: Resecurity detects fraudulent domains and phishing campaigns targeting clients’ brands, enabling swift takedown actions.
2. Social Media Threat Monitoring: The platform monitors social media for impersonation attempts, data leaks, and malicious content that could harm a company’s reputation.
3. Data Leakage Prevention: By identifying sensitive data exposed on the web, Resecurity helps organizations contain data breaches and comply with data protection regulations.

Partnerships and Ecosystem Integration

Resecurity’s approach is strengthened by its strategic partnerships with industry leaders and integration with popular security ecosystems. The platform can be connected to Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems, and cloud security platforms. These integrations ensure that the unique threat intelligence feeds and alerts are actionable and accessible within existing workflows.

Also, Resecurity can set up collaboration, if necessary, with international law enforcement agencies, CERTs (Computer Emergency Response Teams), and industry groups to share intelligence and combat global cybercrime. This collective effort amplifies its ability to respond to sophisticated threats, especially in the context of complicated campaigns happening across international borders.

Use Cases Highlighting Resecurity’s Impact

Several use cases illustrate Resecurity’s value in real-world scenarios. First, we see real value for teams to leverage CTI and associated services from Resecurity to deal with ransomware risk in advance of being actually attacked. Cyber threat intelligence can and should be used to identify ransomware campaigns targeting a given sector, with the goal of using early indicators to improve defenses and avoid downtime.

Second, we see opportunities for organizations to leverage Resecurity’s CTI-based solution suite to address the growing problem of data theft and loss. Resecurity’s dark web monitoring, for example, can uncover stolen records being sold online in a rapid manner, which enables more swift action to mitigate the impact and prevent further breaches. It’s unfortunate that this case continues to plague organizations, but we believe that CTI plays a role in reducing the risk.

A third use case involves regulatory compliance and the risk of not meeting some important set of mandated functional requirements. Perhaps the most important case here involves compliance with privacy frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA[1]. By engaging with Resecurity to create a proactive approach to privacy, it is likely that an organization can avoid consequential fees and fines for violations.

Conclusion

Resecurity’s comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, anchored by its advanced threat intelligence capabilities, sets it apart as a trusted partner for organizations seeking robust protection against cyber risks. By combining cutting-edge technology, actionable insights, and proactive defense strategies, Resecurity empowers businesses to navigate the complex threat landscape with confidence.

Its emphasis on context-rich intelligence and tailored solutions ensures that clients not only survive but thrive in an increasingly hostile digital environment. For organizations committed to safeguarding their assets, Resecurity offers a vital line of defense.
