Threat Intelligence

Evidence-based knowledge about existing or emerging threats, including attacker groups, their motives, tactics and indicators, collected and analysed to help an organisation make better security decisions.

Threat intelligence is produced through a cycle of direction, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination and feedback. Sources include open-source reporting, vendor research, government and CERT advisories, industry sharing groups, malware analysis and an organisation's own telemetry. It is commonly described at strategic, operational, tactical and technical levels, ranging from threat trends for leadership to attacker techniques and specific indicators of compromise such as malicious IP addresses, domains and file hashes.

Security operations centres use threat intelligence to enrich alerts, tune detection rules and hunt for threats; vulnerability teams use it to prioritise patches for actively exploited flaws; and leaders use it to judge which risks deserve investment. Sector communities such as Information Sharing and Analysis Centres allow organisations in the same industry to exchange warnings about campaigns that target them.

Intelligence is useful only when it is relevant, timely and actionable; large feeds of indicators without context generate noise and quickly become outdated. The STIX standard for describing threat information and the TAXII protocol for exchanging it support automated sharing, and MITRE ATT&CK provides a common vocabulary for attacker behaviour. Value is shown through improved detections, prevented incidents and better decisions rather than the volume of data consumed.
