I was recently asked “What do intelligence reports
do? They appear worthless!”
I found the question both funny and ironic. Unfortunately, I had to gently deliver some uncomfortable
news.
There is a fundamental difference between intelligence
and the ability to apply it effectively to make better decisions. Intelligence is the distillation and
organization of data that is analyzed and assessed to draw meaningful
conclusions. These insights often
highlight risks and opportunities, serving as a foundation for better
decisions.
However, intelligence alone doesn’t guarantee action or
success. It takes someone with knowledge
and experience to interpret these insights within a specific context, align
them with goals, and uncover actionable strategies to address potential risks or
opportunities. This process enables smarter decisions and often provides a
competitive edge advantage.
Simply put: “Intelligence is useless without the wisdom
to meaningfully apply it.”
In this case, the person dismissing threat intelligence as “worthless”
failed to understand how to use it. Intelligence reports don’t necessarily dictate
actions—they empower decision-makers with the information they need to act. The
value lies not in the report itself, but in the expertise to leverage it.

In response to the recently published CISA Advisory (AA24-326A) which highlights the CISA Red Team's simulation of real-world malicious cyber operations, AttackIQ has provided actionable recommendations to help organizations emulate these attacks. These guidelines enable organizations to emulate tactics and techniques, helping to assess and improve their defenses against similar adversarial behaviors.

With Testing Time Control, Impart Security has built an industry first way to test rate limiting rules. Testing time control is an innovation from Impart that can dynamically adjust system clocks in order to simulate test requests coming from different times. This helps security teams drastically reduce the time spent tuning WAF rate limiting rules and get to blocking mode in production faster.
For most security teams, rate Limiting policies are normally tested manually by security engineering teams using cURL scripts. If they want to test a rate limiting policy that spans 24 hours, then they would send one set of test requests on one day, then have to wait for 24 hours to elapse before second another set of test requests.
With Testing Time Control, Security teams can now specify a delay between different test messages. When the tests run, Testing Time Control adjusts application clocks forward in time to account for the specified delays, so that test messages can be sent immediately without waiting for the full time delay to elapse.
This enhancement makes it easier for security teams to
✅ Simulate and test low and slow attacks detections in seconds, not weeks
✅ More rapidly gain confidence in rate limiting rules and policies
✅ Get to blocking mode in production more quickly
Why wait weeks to simulate threats manually?
Impart’s Testing Time ContTime Control's configurable internal timing mechanism accelerates your testing cycles, giving you immediate feedback to optimize your defenses.
