Threat Intelligence
Evidence-based knowledge about existing or emerging threats, used to inform security decisions and defensive strategies.
Overview
Threat intelligence transforms raw data about cyber threats into actionable insights. It includes information about threat actors, their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), indicators of compromise (IOCs), and emerging attack trends. Organizations use threat intelligence to prioritize defenses, hunt for threats, and respond to incidents more effectively. Modern threat intelligence leverages AI and machine learning to process vast amounts of data from multiple sources - security feeds, dark web monitoring, honeypots, and incident reports. Real-time threat intelligence enables proactive defense rather than reactive response.
