Know The Actors. Who Target Your Sector.
Threat actors, their malware and their campaigns do not work alone. They form connected ecosystems. This use case gives your team profiles of the groups behind the threats and shows which ones matter to you.

Actors Work In Webs. Not In Isolation.
A threat actor landscape is a picture of the adversaries active against your sector: the groups, the malware and tools they use, their infrastructure and their campaigns. Brandefense Cyber Threat Intelligence builds profiles for each, maps them to MITRE ATT&CK and gives each a risk score, so your SOC can act on what concerns your own sector.
- 01 Threats Are Tracked One By One Actors, malware families, tools and campaigns are connected, yet they are often followed as separate lists. Without the links, a team misses the bigger picture.
- 02 Raw Signals Are Hard To Use Clues are scattered across underground forums, paste sites, exploit markets and technical data. An analyst team cannot read it all and tie it to a named group.
- 03 Everything Looks Equally Urgent Without a score, a long list of groups gives no order. Your team needs to know which actor is a real danger to your sector first.
- 04 Reports Go Stale A report written last quarter does not say which actors are active against your sector this week.
From Raw Signals. To A Ranked List.
Three steps, from underground chatter to intelligence in your own tools.
- Collect The Signals The platform gathers data from underground forums, dark web communities, paste sites, exploit markets, open sources and technical telemetry.
- Profile And Connect Signals are sorted, names are matched and activity is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Actors, malware, infrastructure and campaigns are linked in one view.
- Score And Deliver Each actor gets a risk score. Reports, indicator feeds and playbooks go to your SIEM, SOAR and threat intelligence platform, with alerts for urgent threats.
What You See Once It Runs.
- A View Of Your Adversaries You see which groups target your sector, what tools they use and how their campaigns run.
- Priorities You Can Defend A risk score based on sophistication, intent, infrastructure and sector relevance shows where to act first.
- Intelligence That Reaches Your Tools Indicators and playbooks arrive in your SIEM, SOAR and threat intelligence platform, and briefings are ready for executives.
Four Kinds Of Actors. One Landscape.
The landscape covers these groups, with their tools, targeted sectors and recent activity. Each card opens a Knowledge Hub list.
- APT Groups State-Linked APT Groups that national agencies tie to a state. They mostly want access and information, and sometimes disruption. Read More →
- Ransomware Ransomware Groups Operators that steal data, lock systems and demand payment. Many rent their tools to partners. Read More →
- Glossary Hacktivists Personas that claim a political cause. Some, such as Handala, are tied by agencies to a state. Read More →
- Profile Fraud And Crime Crews Groups that steal for money, such as payment card and fraud crews like FIN7. Read More →
The Parts Of The Platform. That Profile The Actors.
Built For The People. Who Face The Actors.
Roles
- CISOSee what is exposed outside your network in terms a board understands, and know what to do about it first.
- SOC And CTI AnalystGive every alert the context it lacks, track the groups that matter to you and spend less time switching between tabs.
- MSSPs And Service ProvidersRun external threat monitoring for many clients from one platform, with findings you can send to client tools through the API and MCP.

It is a view of the threat actors, malware families, tools and active campaigns that matter to you, and of how they connect. They operate as linked ecosystems, not in isolation, so the links are part of the picture.
-
A profile covers tactics and techniques, infrastructure, malware and campaign history. It is built from signals collected on underground forums, paste sites, exploit markets, open sources and technical telemetry.
-
Each actor, malware family and campaign gets a dynamic score. It is weighted by sophistication, targeting intent, infrastructure maturity, sector relevance and historical activity, so your team can put response in order.
-
Structured intelligence, indicator feeds and defensive playbooks are pushed to SIEM, SOAR and threat intelligence platforms, using a REST API and STIX/TAXII. Analyst-ready reports and executive briefings come alongside.
-
The mapping turns a group's reported techniques into a list of control gaps and detection priorities. MITRE notes that its group data is a subset drawn from open source reporting, so it is a starting point.
-
Signals from forums, leak sites, paste sites and technical sources are collected, classified, matched to known actors and MITRE ATT&CK techniques, linked to campaigns and malware, and then sent to your SOC tools and briefings.
-
State-linked groups, criminal groups, ransomware operators and hacktivists, with their tools, targeted sectors and recent activity. Attribution is always stated as coming from a named source and not as plain fact.
-
APT groups are those that national agencies tie to a state. They mostly want access and information, and sometimes disruption. Ransomware groups steal data, lock systems and demand payment, and many rent their tools to partners.
-
Hacktivists are personas that claim a political cause. Some of them are tied by agencies to a state. The landscape covers them with their tools, targeted sectors and recent activity.
-
A report written last quarter does not say which actors are active against your sector this week. A landscape that updates keeps showing current activity. Alerts also go out for urgent threats.
