Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)

Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) analyses information about existing and emerging cyber threats to help organisations understand relevant threat actors, attack methods, indicators and risks.

It turns raw threat data into actionable intelligence that security teams can use for monitoring, investigation, prioritisation and response. Learn more about CTI today.

Threat data consists of individual indicators such as malicious IP addresses, domains, URLs, or file hashes.

Cyber threat intelligence adds context and analysis to explain why an indicator matters, which assets may be affected, serious the risk is, and what actions security teams should consider.

Cyber Threat Intelligence focuses primarily on understanding external and emerging threats.

A Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitors events and suspicious activity across an organisation’s systems and security tools.

CTI can strengthen SOC operations by providing additional context about threat actors, malicious infrastructure, emerging campaigns and attacker behaviour.

Cyber Threat Intelligence provides information and context about cyber threats, while Managed Detection & Response focuses on detecting, investigating and responding to malicious activity within monitored environments.

The two services can work together by using threat intelligence to improve detection and investigation.

A threat feed provides streams of security data such as suspicious IP addresses, domains, URLs, or file indicators.

Cyber Threat Intelligence analyses and contextualises this information to determine which threats are relevant, how they operate, and what actions may be required.

Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and digital risk monitoring can help organisations identify leaked credentials, phishing threats, and brand impersonation attempts. By monitoring breach data, dark web sources, phishing domains, malicious websites, fraudulent social media accounts, and lookalike domains, CTI enables security teams to detect potential risks early, investigate suspicious activity, assess affected accounts, remediate exposed credentials, block malicious indicators, warn users, and take appropriate action against unauthorised use of the organisation’s brand.

Cyber Threat Intelligence can benefit organisations with significant online exposure, sensitive information, customer-facing platforms, or limited visibility into external threats.

It is particularly relevant to organisations that want earlier warnings of phishing, credential leaks, impersonation attempts, exposed infrastructure and emerging threats.
