In today’s complex world of risk management, the need for accurate, timely and actionable insights has never been greater. As organisations face an ever-growing array of cyber, geopolitical and physical threats, the ability to quickly synthesise vast amounts of data into meaningful intelligence is crucial. The recently published Economic Validation report by the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) on the Silobreaker Threat Intelligence Platform provides a comprehensive analysis of how Silobreaker addresses these challenges and delivers substantial economic benefits to organisations.

Key findings: Speed, productivity, and cost savings

Speed. One of the standout findings of the report is that Silobreaker can accelerate the time it takes to generate actionable intelligence by up to 86%. This speed is achieved through Silobreaker’s advanced data collection and processing capabilities that streamline the entire intelligence cycle from data aggregation to dissemination.

This speed is achieved through:

  • Automated data collection: Silobreaker automatically gathers data from millions of structured and unstructured sources, including open web, deep web and premium intelligence providers
  • Advanced processing: The platform uses natural language processing, machine learning, and statistical models to contextualise and fuse the data into a single coherent dataset
  • Efficient analysis tools: Silobreaker’s user-friendly interface provides powerful tools for querying, analysing and visualising data, enabling analysts to quickly generate insights and reports

By automating data collection from millions of sources and using AI to contextualise and fuse this data, in near real-time, Silobreaker enables organisations to respond to emerging threats and critical questions with unprecedented speed.

  • Productivity. Silobreaker improves analyst productivity by 34%, primarily through automation that reduces manual tasks, allowing analysts to focus on deeper investigations and higher-value activities.

Key productivity drivers include:

  • Reduction in manual tasks: Silobreaker’s automation capabilities eliminate the need for manual data aggregation and initial analysis, freeing up time to concentrate on deeper investigations and strategic tasks
  • Improved collaboration: The platform supports collaborative workflows, making it easier for teams to share insights and work together on complex cases
  • Comprehensive Intelligence: With access to a broader and more diverse set of data sources, analysts can produce more complete and credible intelligence, increasing confidence in their findings

By streamlining operations and reducing analyst workloads, Silobreaker enables organisations to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of their intelligence functions.

  • Costs. ESG’s analysis reveals that organisations using Silobreaker could avoid costs totalling $1 million over a three-year period. These savings stem from:
  • Operational efficiency: Automating labour-intensive processes and improving the speed of intelligence production reduces the need for additional analyst hires and associated costs
  • Risk mitigation: Faster and more accurate insights enable organisations to proactively address potential threats and vulnerabilities, reducing the likelihood of costly security incidents and breaches
  • Improved business outcomes: Providing key intelligence to multiple areas of the organisation that directly impacts business outcomes, like avoided costs and fines, improved productivity, additional revenue and increased shareholder value

Using Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) to measure the inputs and outputs delivered by the threat intelligence team, many organisations find that the cost of Silobreaker is justified several times over.
