Most security teams routinely leverage external threat intelligence, such as open-source feeds and commercial threat information from cyberthreat intelligence (CTI)  providers. However, intelligence may not always be relevant and applicable in the organization’s specific environment since the intelligence source may not align with the organisation’s own threat model. These challenges must be addressed to unlock the full potential of CTI programmes. Organisations must utilize threat information from both external and internal sources, e.g., commercial and open-source CTI in combination with self-generated intelligence based on own data.
