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.

The workshops are part of the company's mission to empower security practitioners to neutralize cybercrime threats and ensure the protection of their organizations.

Anyword Copywriting Software Offers ‘Secret Weapon’ to Optimize Landing Pages
Anyword, the data-driven AI copywriting platform, has announced its new and improved Website Targeted Messaging feature, which analyzes the assets on a user's landing page to optimize copy, generate new copy and maximize conversions.
Founded in 2013, Anyword uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to create a marketing copy generator tool. The platform leverages multiple databases and analytics from $250 million in actual advertising spots to generate text guaranteed to resonate with both specific use cases and audiences.
Anyword's Website Targeted Messaging optimizes a website's landing page to increase conversions and sales. It takes existing assets from the business's website and applies Anyword's data to generate compelling copy to use on the landing page. Users can preview and edit the copy and see Anyword's Predictive Performance score to select the best options.
From there, the user can select the preferred versions of the copy, set how frequently each will appear on the campaign website, and set what action constitutes a conversion, such as clicking a destination URL or a "call to action" button, and set it on the website. If an ad has many variations of copy per the search keywords but all lead to a single copy landing page, WTM creates the consistency to show the audience copy that matches what they saw in the ad.
Once the campaign is active, Anyword also generates analytics on how each variation is affecting conversion rates, providing valuable, real-time insights for the professional marketer.
"Anyword understands how difficult it can be to bring in potential customers to your site and pique their interest enough to stick around," said Yaniv Makover, co-founder and CEO of Anyword.
"Our upgraded Website Targeted Messaging helps develop variations of the best possible copy, shows those variations to your website visitors, learns what works best and continually improves that copy to turn visitors into customers." Website Targeted Messaging is available for Anyword Convert customers.
