Report finds that 59% of respondents do not believe their current cybercrime prevention program is effective, creating additional risk.
KELA, the world’s leader in preventing cybercrime, has released the findings from its new “State of Cybercrime Threat Intelligence” report.
Kela surveyed 400 security team members in the U.S. who were responsible for gathering cybercrime threat intelligence daily to better understand if they’re proactively scanning the dark web and other cybercrime sources, what tools they’re using, the gaps they see in their cybercrime threat intelligence approach, and more.

“We found organizations may be less prepared for threats emerging from the cybercrime underground than they should be,” said David Carmiel, KELA CEO. “At KELA, our extensive intelligence expertise has shown us just how complex the cybercrime underground really is. The threats are much more comprehensive, and what organizations know and refer to as the dark web is changing within the hour. With these findings, we hope to proactively educate the security community about the state and future of cybercrime so they can stay ahead of the curve.”
