Improving the ability to monitor and counter the cyber threats to essential services and national security.
The importance of preventing national security threats
Adopting the Cluster25 Threat Intelligence platform the governmental security agencies improve their ability to gather intelligence and prevent threats to national security. Part of their mission is to monitor and counter cyber threats that can compromise national security and the operation of essential services. The Cluster25 platform enables them to:
- Collect and analyze data from open-source sources, such as social media, websites, blogs, forums, and online communication platforms.
- Identify and track the activities and networks of malicious actors, such as hackers, terrorists, organized criminals, and hostile states.
- Produce and disseminate finished intelligence and threat assessment reports to policy makers and other relevant agencies.
- Collaborate and coordinate with other national and international intelligence and security agencies.
- Prevent and respond to cyber-attacks against critical infrastructure and national security threats.
Cluster25 collections cover highly targeted and curated sources that in this way help counter national security threats.

The hospitality industry is an enticing target for criminals mainly due to their databases, which store gigabytes of sensitive customer data, including Payment Card Information (PCI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

Besides, the spike in lateral movement attacks has shown that hackers are turning unprotected networks into gateways for targeted attacks on businesses.
With regards to share of incidents, hospitality ranked third, with 13% of cybersecurity breaches taking place within this industry.
