On 7th October 2024, Gartner released its Emerging Tech: Build Preemptive Security Solutions to Improve Threat Detection (Part 1) report. The report cited CYFIRMA as a sample vendor. Gartner stated that as cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, reactive measures alone are no longer sufficient. The future of cybersecurity lies in adopting Predictive Threat Intelligence (PTI) – a proactive approach that equips defenders to anticipate and neutralize cyber threats before they materialize.
We believe, this recognition affirms CYFIRMA’s core philosophy — to reverse the balance of power between cybercriminals and defenders by shifting from reactive to predictive cybersecurity strategies. For us, at the heart of this shift is the ability to leverage early threat indicators, signals, and contextual intelligence to anticipate potential attacks and enable organizations to take proactive measures.
For years, CYFIRMA has championed the necessity of an intelligence-driven security posture. Unlike traditional event-driven models, which focus on handling alerts, incidents, and post-breach analysis, CYFIRMA advocates for a forward-looking approach. By incorporating predictive threat intelligence, security teams can access a deeper level of insights that go beyond just what is happening in the moment. Armed with actionable intelligence — including insights into an attack’s motive, intent, and potential targets — security leaders can develop a robust, anticipatory defense strategy. This allows them to allocate resources more effectively, focus on high-risk attack vectors, and fortify security controls to mitigate risks before they escalate.
By embracing predictive intelligence, security leaders are not merely responding to attacks — they are anticipating them. This enables organizations to achieve cyber readiness and maintain continuous vigilance, ensuring that their defenses are always one step ahead of adversaries.
At CYFIRMA, we believe this shift toward predictive, intelligence-driven cybersecurity is not just a trend, but a necessity in the battle against cybercrime. We are proud to be recognized in the Gartner report. We believe we are recognised in the report for our leadership in this space, and we remain committed to empowering organizations with the tools they need to pre-emptively defend against emerging threats.
