What is threat intelligence?
Threat intelligence could be a process or evidence-based
knowledge.
As a process, it involves collecting, collating and analysing threat data into
valuable intelligence, which takes a lifecycle to reach completion. As
evidence-based knowledge, it is sourced and sifted data about threat actors with
which businesses can prevent, predict and mitigate potential damages from them.

Threat intelligence provides context into a malicious actor’s identity, motives,
attack patterns (TTP), mechanisms, behaviours and implications. It highlights the
indicators of compromise and enables businesses to make more informed security
decisions while changing their security behaviour from reactive to proactive.
Cyber threat intelligence solutions are security systems encompassing advanced
technologies and SIEMs that effectively detect, analyse and eradicate threats or
vulnerabilities before they manifest into threats. CTI solutions also integrate
advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to predict these threats
effectively. The best cyber threat intelligence companies automate users' security
alerts, which fastens incidence response.
