The Problem
Most organisations are flying blind on threats targeting them specifically. Generic threat feeds provide volumes of irrelevant data that analysts drown in. Security teams are so busy responding to alerts that proactive intelligence is a luxury they cannot afford. Meanwhile, threat actors are researching your organisation, your employees, your suppliers, and your systems — and you have no visibility into that reconnaissance until they act.
Our Approach
Threat Profile Development
We build a detailed threat profile for your organisation — industry, geography, technology stack, supply chain, and known adversaries. This profile drives all intelligence collection and prioritisation.
Tactical Intelligence Delivery
Real-time indicators of compromise (IOCs), malware signatures, and threat actor TTPs relevant to your environment — delivered via SIEM integration, STIX/TAXII feed, or analyst briefing.
Dark Web Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of dark web forums, ransomware leak sites, Telegram channels, and paste sites for mentions of your organisation, your employees' credentials, and your intellectual property.
Strategic Intelligence Briefings
Monthly strategic intelligence reports covering threat actor campaigns targeting Nordic organisations, emerging attack vectors, regulatory developments, and geopolitical risk — written for executives, not analysts.
Incident Attribution & Context
When incidents occur, we provide attribution analysis — who is likely responsible, what are their known TTPs, what similar organisations have they targeted, and what should you expect next.
What You Receive
Real-Time IOC Feed
STIX/TAXII-compatible IOC feed integrated directly into your SIEM or firewall — automatically blocking known malicious infrastructure.
Dark Web Monitoring
24/7 monitoring with immediate alerts on credential exposure, data leak mentions, or targeted threat actor discussions.
Weekly Threat Digest
Analyst-curated digest of the week's most relevant threats, vulnerabilities, and campaigns for your sector.
Monthly Intelligence Report
Strategic threat landscape report covering Nordic-specific threats, emerging vectors, and recommended defensive priorities.
Board Risk Briefing
Quarterly executive briefing translating threat intelligence into business risk language — what could happen, what is the impact, what are we doing about it.
Incident Attribution
On-demand threat actor attribution analysis when incidents occur — who, why, what next.
Security Maturity Model
Threat intelligence maturity spans from purely reactive security — responding to incidents after they happen — to a proactive, intelligence-led security programme that anticipates and prevents threats.
Where you are
No threat intelligence programme. Awareness of threats comes from vendor patch notes, news articles, or after incidents. No dark web monitoring. No understanding of which threat actors target your industry.
Where you are
Commercial threat intelligence feed purchased but largely unread. IOCs ingested into firewall but not contextualised. Ad-hoc threat briefings when requested. No intelligence analyst capability.
Where you are
Managed threat intelligence service. IOC feed integrated with SIEM. Weekly threat digests produced. Dark web monitoring active. Security team consuming and acting on intelligence. Threat intelligence platform (TIP) in use.
Where you are
Intelligence-driven security operations. Detection rules derived from threat actor TTPs. Threat hunting guided by intelligence. Intelligence feeds procurement risk decisions. Board receives regular threat briefings. Diamond Model analysis used for attribution.
Where you are
Intelligence-sharing with sector peers and national CERT. Threat intelligence feeds product security decisions. Adversary simulation based on intelligence-derived scenarios. Threat actor tracking programme. Intelligence contributes to national cyber defence.

How We've Helped
Following warnings from the Swedish SÄPO about increased targeting of Nordic energy infrastructure by state-sponsored actors, the client needed to understand their specific threat exposure and implement intelligence-driven defensive measures.
ACE MATES conducted a 2-week threat assessment, building a full adversary profile of the top 3 threat actor groups targeting Nordic energy. We discovered credentials for 23 employee accounts on dark web forums, identified infrastructure likely used by one threat actor to target similar organisations, and delivered a board-level briefing that resulted in emergency budget approval for defensive measures. The IOC feed we implemented blocked 1,400 connection attempts from known threat actor infrastructure in the first month.

Why ACE MATES
Nordic-Specific Intelligence
We maintain active collection on threat actors specifically targeting Nordic organisations — tracking forums, channels, and infrastructure used by groups known to target Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish companies.
Human-Readable Output
Intelligence is worthless if nobody reads it. Our weekly digests and monthly reports are written by analysts for the specific audiences they serve — technical detail for security teams, business risk language for executives and boards.
Dark Web Coverage
We monitor the full dark web stack — Tor hidden services, I2P, Telegram threat channels, Genesis Market, Russian-language forums — with native-language analysts where relevant.
Intelligence That Drives Action
Every intelligence product we deliver includes a recommended action section. We don't just tell you what is happening — we tell you what to do about it, with prioritised, specific recommendations.
