What is Threat Intelligence?
Threat intelligence is the collection, analysis, and sharing of information about potential cyber threats. It enables organizations to anticipate attacks, prioritize risks, and respond proactively rather than reactively.
Types of Threat Intelligence:
- Strategic: High-level insights about threat trends and risks.
- Tactical: Techniques and methods used by attackers.
- Operational: Information about ongoing attacks and campaigns.
- Technical: Indicators of compromise (IOCs) like malicious IPs, domains, or malware signatures.
Integrating threat intelligence with security tools like firewalls, SIEM, and endpoint protection improves detection and mitigates the impact of cyberattacks.
