Threat Intelligence

Threat intelligence is evidence-based knowledge about existing or emerging threats, including attacker tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs), indicators of compromise (IOCs), and threat actor profiles. It is used to prioritize defenses, inform incident response, and proactively hunt for threats in an environment. Sources include commercial feeds (CrowdStrike, Recorded Future), open-source intelligence (MISP, VirusTotal), and government sharing programs (ISAC, CISA). Threat intelligence is most valuable when it is timely, relevant, and actionable.
