Gartner® Report 2025: Improve Cyber Resilience With Threat Intelligence

Security incidents aren’t flukes; adversaries' motives, tactics, and targets are calculated. Are your defenses? If your response to threats is unplanned, uninformed, and reactive, threats will loom, or worse, beat you.

Our Core Takeaways From the Report

Having threat intelligence versus not having it defines whether you’re the one with control, or they are. Being reactive limits your combat capability and can destabilize the organization. According to Gartner:

1. By 2028, 90% of cyberattacks will exploit widely available and commoditized vulnerabilities

Gartner adds that most of these attacks could be proactively mitigated through the strategic application of threat intelligence in your incident response program to identify and close early warning signals.

2. Threat intelligence must be built on the four CTI pillars

  • Timely: aligned with current attacker activity
  • Accurate: properly attributed and validated
  • Compelling: matched to your industry, region, and threat profile
  • Actionable: ready to inform decisions, controls, and IR workflows

3. Threat intelligence dramatically reduces MTTD & MTTR

Organizations that integrate threat intelligence considerably shorten threat response times, minimizing exposure and impact, all with early warning signals and threat context, enabling faster triage, quicker investigations, better decision-making, and preparedness to withstand active threats.

4. Threat intelligence is a critical contributor to resilience

With threat intelligence, response and recovery measures are informed by real-world threat data. But resilience-building does not end there. It also helps organizations correctly anticipate threats and apply lessons learned from previous incidents, improving exposure awareness and risk management.

Group-IB’s Interpretation of the Report

Group-IB believes that the Gartner report validates what we have long been advocating: resilience is built on tailored intelligence. In our view, Group-IB’s Threat Intelligence (the industry’s largest intelligence lake) aligns directly with Gartner four pillars:

  • Timely: Global-to-local threat insights delivered in real time, supported by our Digital Crime Resistance Centers (DCRCs) located across regions.
  • Accurate: Attribution backed by patented, multi-sourced, adversary-centric, action-guided intelligence.
  • Compelling: Tailored to your specific industry, region, and infrastructure.
  • Actionable: Insights integrated into SOC workflows, IR playbooks, and cyber-fusion operations to empower the security ecosystem and end-defense.

Build true resilience, not survival mode, with Group-IB

  • Tailored threat intelligence to guide your security strategy
  • Red teaming engagements and reality-based tabletop exercises to test combat
  • Proactive and reactive threat hunting to ensure a complete network cleanup
  • Shared threat visibility across fraud, security, and risk teams for blended, new-age attacks

Ensure your organization can:

  • Integrate Threat Intelligence into security workflows with continuously updated indicators
  • Reduce MTTD/MTTR and minimize disruption
  • Prioritize controls based on real attacker behavior
  • Move from reactive to predictive cyber defense
  • Identify exposures faster with continuous monitoring, which Gartner notes keeps organizations ahead of evolving threats
