Threat intelligence

Threat intelligence software enables organizations to proactively identify, analyze, and mitigate cyber threats.

Threat intelligence solutions help security teams understand adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to improve threat detection and response. These platforms aggregate data from various sources, providing actionable insights to reduce risk and prevent cyberattacks.

The challenge

Your organization faces a constant barrage of cyber threats, making it difficult to prioritize and respond effectively. The sheer volume of alerts, coupled with a shortage of skilled analysts, leads to alert fatigue and missed threats. Without timely and relevant threat intelligence, your security team struggles to understand the context behind attacks, leaving your organization vulnerable to costly breaches and operational disruptions.

The solution

Threat intelligence addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.

Universal feed aggregation

Ingest threat data from various sources, including structured (STIX/TAXII) and unstructured formats (PDFs, blogs), providing a comprehensive view of the threat landscape.

Deduplication and normalization

Automatically deduplicate redundant data and normalize it into a common data model, preventing SIEM database bloating and ensuring data consistency.

SIEM/SOAR integration

Integrate with major SIEM and SOAR platforms, enabling bi-directional data flow for automated alert enrichment and response orchestration.

Confidence scoring and lifecycle management

Assign confidence scores to indicators based on source reliability and data age, automatically lowering scores over time to prevent stale blocklists.

AI-driven attribution

Use machine learning to correlate IoCs into threat actor profiles, automating high-level analysis and identifying likely threat actors.

Dark web and persona management

Provide safe environments for analysts to interact with threat actors on dark web forums, gathering human intelligence (HUMINT) on upcoming attacks.

How to evaluate threat intelligence

1

Data ingestion costs

Evaluate how the platform filters data to avoid overage charges from SIEMs. A smart TIP should act as a filter, sending only high-fidelity, actionable intelligence to the SIEM.

2

API limits

Understand API call limits to avoid unexpected costs from automated workflows. SOAR playbooks can quickly exhaust API limits, leading to expensive upgrades.

3

Integration maintenance

Assess whether the vendor provides and maintains supported apps for your specific security tools. Custom integrations can add significant human capital costs.

4

Vendor stability

Evaluate the vendor's financial runway and backing to ensure long-term stability. Acquisition of a small provider could lead to product sunsetting.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Threat intelligence RFP guide
  • How does your platform enrich and prioritize intelligence in real-time, and specifically, how does your confidence scoring model handle decay?
  • Do you offer bi-directional integration with our specific SIEM/SOAR stack, or is it just a one-way data dump?
  • What is the ratio of your proprietary, original intelligence versus aggregated open-source (OSINT) feeds in your base package?
  • Does your AI capability extend to agentic actions such as reasoning, rule creation, and autonomous triage, or is it limited to a ChatBot that summarizes reports?
