Threat intelligence FAQs
What is threat intelligence?
Threat intelligence is evidence-based knowledge about an existing or emerging menace or hazard to assets. This intelligence is used to inform the organization’s response to the threat.
Why is threat intelligence important?
Organizations face the difficult challenge of responding to ever-evolving cyber attacks in order to keep their assets safe. Threat intelligence empowers security analysts with the contextual information needed for improved threat hunting and prioritization—minimizing response times. Threat intelligence also provides enterprises with the insight needed to make more informed strategic decisions, developing a proactive security posture that prevents attacks.
What’s the difference between a threat intelligence feed and an API?
There are two main ways to consume threat intelligence; via data feed or API. A threat feed delivers the required threat information to a threat intelligence database on a regular, defined basis. An Application Programming Interface (API) leverages the threat intelligence hosted in a secure cloud environment by making queries on-demand.
What types of organizations use threat intelligence?
Threat intelligence is leveraged by enterprises across all sectors; including financial services, e-commerce, industrial, telecommunications, government, and more. Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), security software providers and security hardware manufacturers often leverage threat intelligence to enhance their core services.
What are the main use cases for threat intelligence?
Threat intelligence use cases are growing increasingly diverse, with applications beyond traditional security operations to fraud and risk management, marketing and human resources. They include phishing detection, vulnerability prioritization, threat intelligence analyst augmentation, and more.
