6. How Does Cyber Threat Intelligence Operate?
The four main processes of cyber threat intelligence are typically: collecting, analyzing, disseminating, and acting.
- Data collection from various sources is the first step in CTI. This could include both closed source information (CSINT) from private companies and government organizations as well as open source intelligence (OSINT) from social media forums and feeds. Organizations may also gather information from their own network, such as logs and other data that can shed light on potential dangers.
- Data analysis is necessary after data collection in order to spot potential hazards. This may entail comparing information from many sources to spot patterns and trends or examining threats' actions in order to assess their potential and motivation.
- The following stage is to convey threat intelligence to organization stakeholders. This could apply to management, executives, and other important employees. The sharing of threat intelligence with external partners, such as businesses operating in the same sector or governmental bodies, is also possible.
- The final phase is to act based on the intelligence that has been obtained. This might entail implementing new security measures to guard against developing threats or reacting to a particular threat that has been recognised.
