Cybersecurity Research & Threat Intelligence

We conduct deep cybersecurity research to uncover emerging threats, evolving attacker tactics, and new vulnerabilities that could impact your business.

Our work involves analysing malware, tracking threat actors, and studying security trends to help you make more informed decisions. This intelligence is tailored to your environment and supports proactive risk management and strategy planning.

Most security programmes are reactive — they respond to incidents after they happen. Threat intelligence flips that model. By monitoring the channels where attackers plan, coordinate, and sell access, we give you visibility into risks before they reach your front door. That early warning creates the window to act while there's still time to prevent damage rather than just contain it.

Deep & Dark Web Monitoring

Our team monitors deep and dark web platforms — such as underground forums, encrypted messaging channels, and illicit marketplaces — for signs of compromised data, stolen credentials, or targeted attacks involving your organisation. By identifying threats early, we help you respond quickly to prevent damage, contain risks, and protect your reputation.

• Credential ExposureLeaked usernames and passwords from data breaches that could be used to access your systems, email, or cloud services before your team knows they're out there.
• Initial Access ListingsThreat actors frequently advertise network access for sale before enabling ransomware attacks. We monitor for listings referencing your organisation, industry, or infrastructure type.
• Data Leak DetectionSensitive documents, customer records, or internal data appearing on dark web file-sharing platforms or paste sites.
• Brand and Executive MonitoringImpersonation accounts, phishing kit distribution, and chatter referencing your organisation's name or key personnel.

Internet Exposure Assessment

We assess your organisation's public-facing digital footprint to uncover exposed assets, misconfigured services, and vulnerabilities accessible from the internet. This includes identifying unsecured cloud instances, open ports, forgotten domains, and leaked credentials. With this insight, you can reduce your attack surface, prioritise fixes, and maintain a strong external security posture as your infrastructure changes.

Infrastructure evolves quickly — new cloud workloads are spun up, old services aren't decommissioned, and shadow IT creates exposure that the security team doesn't know about. Our assessments give you a clear, current picture of what an attacker can see when they look at your organisation from the outside.

• Cloud Asset DiscoveryIdentify unmanaged or misconfigured storage buckets, databases, and compute instances exposed to the internet.
• Subdomain EnumerationForgotten or abandoned subdomains can be taken over by attackers. We map your full domain footprint and flag vulnerable assets.
• Exposed Service DetectionRemote access tools, administrative interfaces, and legacy services left open to the internet are a leading cause of compromise. We identify and prioritise these for remediation.
• Certificate and Infrastructure IntelligenceHistorical certificate data, passive DNS records, and hosting changes reveal infrastructure you may have forgotten — and that attackers may have already found.

Cybersecurity Research

Our research team tracks emerging threat actors, analyses new malware families, and monitors vulnerability disclosures to maintain an up-to-date picture of the threat landscape. This work directly informs the advice we give to clients — ensuring our recommendations are grounded in what attackers are actually doing, not just what frameworks recommend.

Our research findings are published regularly on the 2Twenty blog, covering threat intelligence updates, advisory analysis, and practical guidance for security teams and business leaders.

Who benefits from threat intelligence

Threat intelligence is most valuable for organisations that have moved past the basics — you have controls in place, but you want to stay ahead of what's coming rather than waiting to find out you've been breached. It's also important for any organisation in a sector that attracts targeted attacks: financial services, critical infrastructure, healthcare, professional services, and government-adjacent industries.

For organisations starting their security journey, we recommend pairing threat intelligence with our consulting services to ensure that what we find can be actioned effectively.
