Threat Intelligence Company

Berghem is a threat intelligence company based in São Paulo. We turn scattered signals into defensive decisions: continuous dark web monitoring, proactive threat hunting, and intelligence across all four types — strategic, operational, tactical, and technical — contextualized to your environment and validated against real telemetry.

What does Berghem's threat intelligence service deliver?

Operational intelligence, not loose reports. We combine continuous dark web monitoring with proactive hunting in corporate environments — adversarial hypotheses validated against the real environment, with on-demand detection engineering. Every indicator becomes a detection rule, a remediation priority, or a hunt hypothesis, so intelligence drives action rather than sitting in a PDF.

Lines of action

Each front with its own method, tooling, and indicators.

Dark Web Monitoring

Continuous dark web monitoring for detection of data exposures, leaked credentials, and targeted offers in clandestine forums and marketplaces.

Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting

Threat intelligence (actors, TTPs, and motivation) contextualized to the sector, combined with proactive hunting in EDR, SIEM, identity, and cloud telemetry — with on-demand detection engineering.

What is threat intelligence?

Threat intelligence is the process of collecting, processing, and analyzing data about adversaries — who they are, what they want, and how they operate — to turn scattered signals into defensive decisions. At Berghem the intelligence is operational: every indicator becomes a detection, a remediation priority, or a hunt hypothesis validated against your real environment.

What are the four types of threat intelligence?

There are four types, from the broadest to the most technical: strategic, operational, tactical, and technical. Strategic guides leadership on risk and trends; operational describes active campaigns and actors; tactical details attacker TTPs; and technical delivers indicators of compromise ready for blocking and detection.

Strategic — High-level view of actors, motivations, and sector trends for leadership investment and risk-prioritization decisions.
Operational — Context on active campaigns, infrastructure, and adversary intent targeting your sector or organization.
Tactical — TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK — how the adversary gains access, moves laterally, and persists — to guide detection and response.
Technical — Indicators of compromise (IOCs): hashes, domains, IPs, and URLs ready to feed SIEM, EDR, and firewalls.

How does the threat intelligence lifecycle work?

Intelligence follows a continuous six-phase cycle: direction, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and feedback. Each loop refines the priorities of the last, turning business requirements into actionable intelligence products and measuring whether they actually reduced risk.

Direction — defining requirements and the intelligence questions that matter to the business.
Collection — gathering data from open sources, the dark web, internal telemetry, and specialized feeds.
Processing — normalizing, deduplicating, and enriching the raw data collected.
Analysis — correlation and interpretation that separate noise from real threat and generate hypotheses.
Dissemination — delivering the right product to the right audience: leadership, SOC, or technical teams.
Feedback — assessing the usefulness of the intelligence and adjusting requirements for the next cycle.

What does dark web monitoring detect?

Continuous dark web monitoring identifies leaked credentials, exposed databases, brand mentions, and targeted offers in clandestine forums and marketplaces. Detecting a corporate credential for sale before it is used shortens the window between exposure and exploitation — the core objective of the service.

How does proactive threat hunting complement monitoring?

While monitoring watches the outside, threat hunting starts from adversarial hypotheses and validates them against internal telemetry — EDR, SIEM, identity, and cloud. Rather than waiting for an alert, the team looks for evidence of compromise that went unnoticed, with on-demand detection engineering to close the gaps it finds.

Threat intelligence for companies in Brazil

Berghem operates from São Paulo with an in-house team, contextualizing intelligence to the Brazilian and Latin American threat landscape — from ransomware groups targeting the financial sector to fraud against Pix and Open Finance. The intelligence product supports regulatory requirements, including the BACEN/CMN resolutions on cybersecurity, and feeds directly into response and remediation teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between threat intelligence and threat hunting?

Threat intelligence collects and analyzes data about adversaries to produce context and indicators; threat hunting uses that context to actively look for signs of compromise in your internal telemetry. One feeds the other: intelligence raises hypotheses, and hunting validates them against the real environment.

Is dark web monitoring continuous?

Yes. Monitoring is continuous, not a one-off scan. Forums, marketplaces, and clandestine channels are tracked permanently to detect leaked credentials, exposed data, and mentions of your organization as soon as they appear, shortening the window between exposure and exploitation.

Which sources feed the intelligence service?

We combine open sources (OSINT), dark web monitoring, the client's internal telemetry — EDR, SIEM, identity, and cloud — and specialized feeds. The data runs through the intelligence lifecycle: it is processed, correlated, and analyzed before becoming actionable products for each audience.

How does intelligence connect to incident response?

The indicators and TTPs produced feed directly into detection and response: they become SIEM and EDR rules, remediation priorities, and containment playbooks. When an incident occurs, the intelligence context accelerates identification of the vector and the scope of compromise.
