Threat intelligence benefits organizations of all shapes and sizes by helping process threat data to better understand their attackers, respond faster to incidents, and proactively get ahead of a threat actor’s next move. For SMBs, this data helps them achieve a level of protection that would otherwise be out of reach. On the other hand, enterprises with large security teams can reduce the cost and required skills by leveraging external threat intel and make their analysts more effective.
From top to bottom, threat intelligence offers unique advantages to every member of a security team, including:
Sec/IT Analyst
SOC
CSIRT
Intel Analyst
Executive Management
