KELA Releases ‘State of Cybercrime Threat Intelligence’ Report
TEL AVIV, Israel - August 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
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."
Key Findings:
- 69% are concerned about threats from the cybercrime underground.
- 54% wouldn't be surprised to find their organization's data on the cybercrime underground.
- Only 38% believe that they're very likely to detect it if it was released.
- 48% have no documented cybercrime threat intelligence policy in place.
- Only 41% believe their current security program is very effective.
- 49% are not satisfied with the visibility they have of the cybercrime underground.
- Of the 51% who were satisfied with their visibility into the cybercrime underground, 39% were still unable to prevent an attack.
- Additional training and proficiency in cybercrime intelligence investigations is the most needed capability.

Understanding the deep need for training due to knowledge gaps that security teams face with regard to cybercrime intelligence, KELA is honored to offer a new Threat Hunting Workshops Series that will launch in Q4 2022. The workshops are part of the company's mission to empower security practitioners to neutralize cybercrime threats and ensure the protection of their organizations.

Dale Ventures’ AUD$2.5 Million Investment Helps Fast-Track Rail Online

A recent AUD$2.5 million investment from Dale Ventures has enabled Rail Online to fast-track its expansion plans. The railroad travel service now allows travelers to search, book, and ticket Amtrak journeys, with multiple currency options via a 24/7 connection to live Amtrak inventory.
In addition to the North American expansion, the investment from Dale Ventures has also helped accelerate Rail Online's expansion plans in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
James Dunne, Rail Online's CEO, says the addition of Amtrak is timely because Rail Online saw strong inquiry levels for North American rail journeys, bolstered by the pent-up demand related to the pandemic.
"By offering live booking capability," says Dunne, "Rail Online has made it more cost-effective, efficient, and convenient for travelers to book Amtrak journeys."
"In addition, travelers booking through Rail Online have the freedom and flexibility to self-manage all itinerary changes and refunds," Dunne says.
Amtrak's network connects more than 500 destinations in 46 United States and three Canadian provinces. The company's fleet of more than 300 trains includes 20 Acela high-speed trainsets, which reach speeds of up to 240 km/h, making it the fastest passenger service in the Western Hemisphere.
Dunne says the addition of Amtrak's North American services brings Rail Online one step closer to fulfilling its aim of being "the one-stop shop for all rail bookings for customers across the globe."
"With this new Amtrak connection, Rail Online continues to lead the way in making rail travel easier," says Dale W. Wood, CEO of Dale Ventures. "I congratulate James and his team for their incredible work and rapid growth."
