Imagine the following scenario: a large financial institution has heard about recent breaches and thefts that have occurred around the world against similar institutions and wishes to protect itself.
These questions may arise: Who is behind these attacks? What is the motive? What is the attack vector? What vulnerabilities were exploited? Is our environment secure enough? What do we need to do?
This financial institution should probably talk to their cyber threat intelligence team.
Cyber threat intelligence, or sometimes just called threat intelligence (CTI and TI), are increasingly popular terms in the security industry and enterprises in general. You likely have heard them mentioned in conversations with security information and event management (SIEMs), cloud providers, or when buying expensive reports.
