Deep Dive into Group-IB Threat Intelligence
Understanding Threat Intelligence Platforms
A threat intelligence platform (TIP), also known as a cyber threat intelligence platform, is a technology solution for gathering, combining, and organizing threat intelligence from various sources.
Powered by the Unified Risk Platform, the Group-IB Threat Intelligence Platform is an enterprise-grade cyber threat intelligence solution that stops adversaries before they attack. It provides real-time threat intelligence tailored to your needs, enabling you to proactively harden your defenses.
The Importance of Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence is crucial because it provides the context and actionable insights security teams need to understand and counter digital threats. CTI offers clear insights into an adversary’s motives and methods, empowering security professionals to make faster, more informed decisions to reduce cybersecurity risks. This intelligence-driven approach enables teams to select the appropriate protections for the specific threats they face, detect attacks early, and assist leadership in developing more informed, long-term security plans. Ultimately, it strengthens a company’s overall security and prevents costly data breaches before they happen.
Types of Intelligence Provided
Strategic intelligence provides a high-level view of how cyber threats can impact business objectives. This intelligence is for executive leadership, including the C-suite and CISO, to guide long-term security strategy, investment planning, and risk management. It addresses broad, forward-looking questions, such as, “Where should we invest our cybersecurity budget?” or “What are the major cyberthreat trends in our industry?” Operational intelligence dives into the “who, why, and how” behind potential attacks.
It provides security managers and incident response teams with detailed context on threat actors’ motives, campaigns, and the specific TTPs they use. This information is used to understand how an attack might unfold and to proactively adjust defenses to counter specific adversary behaviors. Tactical intelligence is focused on the immediate “here and now” and provides highly technical information about active threats.

Investment Trends in ANZ Cybersecurity
Budget Increases Across Organizations
62% of organisations stated that their cybersecurity budget will increase this year.
Globally, regardless of role or industry, companies are ramping up investments in cyber risk management, with over a quarter planning to increase spending by more than 25%. In the Pacific region, the average increase in cyber investments by Australian and New Zealand companies was slightly below (3%) the global average.
Reliance on External Expertise
With almost 98% of businesses in Australia and New Zealand being small and medium enterprises, a combined approach reflects the unique risk profiles of businesses who may have existing resources to build capabilities, but in many cases will need to rely on external sources to bolster their ability to manage cyber risk. While many large organisations remain focused on building internal cybersecurity capability, developing in-house teams can be complex and time intensive. In the Pacific, this challenge is amplified by skill shortages and the need to uplift capability at both the technical and executive level.
Cyber Insurance Considerations
With insurers requiring zero-trust evidence before renewing cover, underwriting questionnaires have effectively become sector-wide compliance gatekeepers. These converging forces confirm that the New Zealand cybersecurity market is progressing from episodic project spending to a durable, structurally funded investment path.
Addressing Workforce Challenges
Cyber Burnout Concerns
61% of New Zealand and 58% of Australian security leaders say they believe there is cyber burnout within their security or IT teams with employees stressed or constantly under pressure. One of the clearest messages coming through in this report is that cybersecurity needs to be the remit of the entire organisation. More work needs to be done to ensure our teams are better informed about cybersecurity threats and the role they play in protecting their organisation.
Staffing Challenges
23% have no single person dedicated to cybersecurity full-time: 16% claim their organisation has no form of 24×7 security monitoring in place.
This is precisely where managed solutions like Group-IB’s MXDR become invaluable for organizations lacking dedicated security staff.
