CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE - WHO NEEDS IT?

As organizations modernize their defenses, many now rely on expert threat intelligence consulting and support from a trusted cybersecurity testing company to strengthen SOC decision-making.

Are You Taking Cyber Threat Intelligence Seriously?

Effective threat intelligence is becoming essential for teams seeking structured, real-time insights into evolving cyber risks.

Your Security Operations Center is up and running. You have your monitoring team set up,

your incident response team are champing at the bits,

and you have a designated threat intelligence operative.

But are you prioritizing correctly?

The Gap Between Data Collection and Actionable Intelligence

Many organizations begin exploring threat intelligence consulting once they realize the gap between raw data collection and meaningful intelligence insights.

While most companies are getting better at acting on intelligence, they are still lagging in terms of turning data into intelligence. The SOC collects vast amounts of data that not even the most diligent intelligence researcher can cover.

Regardless if you have a good system set up the task is overwhelming, and you will at best have a rough triage.

There are several products on the market that will help you perform this triage, but the tool is only as good as the hand that wields it. The question is how much you have prioritized Threat Intelligence in your overall security strategy.

In most companies the threat intelligence team make up about 5% of the SOC, but given the vast amount of data that needs to be sifted through this is rarely enough. This is why many organizations complement their internal SOC with external expertise from a cyber security testing company that understands how to convert raw data into actionable intelligence.

The Role of Threat Intelligence in Strategic Security

Threat intelligence becomes significantly more effective when supported by structured threat intelligence consulting that aligns intelligence processes with business goals.

The Role of Threat Intelligence Is to create evidence based reports pertinent for your situation on the threat climate in which you operate. Without this knowledge it is impossible for you to make strategic prioritizations or tactical decisions to ensure your Cyber Security. For the Threat Intelligence team to be effective they need to not only know about the ecosystem of threats, but they need to be aware in detail of the operating procedures of malevolent actors, their motivations and intents as well as their capabilities.

Why Prioritizing Threat Intelligence Matters

Engaging with an expert cybersecurity testing company helps SOC teams enhance detection methods, refine reporting, and stay ahead of emerging adversary tactics.

From the Moment your SOC Becomes Active they will be flooded with data, both internally collected and externally provided. While external threat reports might give you indications of what to look for, there is still a significant amount of noise that needs to be filtered through in order to find out what is relevant for you. On top of that you have the countless internal system logs that need to be combed through to provide actionable data. The only way for this to happen is for you to take Threat Intelligence seriously and make it a prioritized team within your SOC.

You can have the best response team in the world, but if your intelligence is off, they won’t know what to look for.

With proper threat intelligence consulting, organizations learn how to remove noise, refine prioritization, and use intelligence to guide SOC actions effectively.
