WHAT IS CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE?

What is Threat Intelligence?

Threat intelligence is data that is collected, processed, and analyzed to understand a threat actor’s motives, targets, and attack behaviors. Threat intelligence enables us to make faster, more informed, data-backed security decisions and change their behavior from reactive to proactive in the fight against threat actors.

The definition of threat intelligence is sometimes confused with other cybersecurity terms. Most commonly, people confuse ‘threat data’ with ‘threat intelligence’ – but the two are not the same:

Threat data is a list of possible threats.
Threat intelligence looks at the bigger picture – by interrogating the data and the broader context to construct a narrative that can inform decision-making.
In essence, threat intelligence enables organisations to make faster and more informed security decisions. It encourages proactive, rather than reactive, behaviours in the fight against cyber attacks.
