To prevent a cyberattack, it is vital to know what the attack surface for your organization is. To be prepared to repel the attacks of cybercriminals, businesses around the world collect threat intelligence themselves or subscribe for threat intelligence services.

Continuous threat research enables Kaspersky to discover, infiltrate and monitor resources frequented by adversaries and cybercriminals worldwide. Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence leverages this access to proactively detect threats targeted at organizations worldwide, their assets or brands, and alert our customers to them.
