Types of Threat Intelligence

Strategic

The purpose of Strategic Threat Intelligence is to provide a long-term view of an organization’s risk. It’s an essential component for any organization as it helps identify threats and vulnerabilities before they happen. This intelligence can be developed by understanding threats and vulnerabilities, assessing the risk, and deciding on a course of action.

Tactical

Tactical threat intelligence provides insight into the plans and motives of the attacker. It also offers information about what threats are active in a particular region or industry niche and how to deal with the attack effectively. This intelligence is often used with other defensive techniques to combat a cyber-attack before affecting the organization.

Technical

Technical Threat Intelligence is an analytical process designed to help security professionals and organizations identify, classify, and prioritize new cyber threats. Its process begins with the detection of a new threat. The new threat can either be found by a third party or through proprietary methods. After detecting the new threat, it is then classified. This classification helps to determine how severe the risk posed by this particular cyberattack is. It also helps to determine what type of countermeasures would be most effective for countering this cyber-attack.

Operational

Operational Threat Intelligence (OTI) is the intelligence that is used for day-to-day activities. Companies use this information to ensure their employees are protected from potential risks when they are on the job. OTI is used for cyber defense and incident response by providing real-time insights about malware, new attack vectors, vulnerabilities, or other security issues.
