Threat Intelligence: Organizations seek expertise and guidance to help build their threat intelligence programs

As threat actors evolve and new cyber threats emerge, proactive threat intelligence is crucial to navigate the threat landscape.

However, despite the importance of robust threat intelligence, about 6 in 10 of respondents indicated that they don’t currently have a functioning threat intelligence operation in place.

In addition, threat intelligence initiatives encounter multiple obstacles — they're expensive to establish, could potentially cause disturbances to users and their regular activities, and often necessitate a certain level of expertise for integration, which many organizations don't possess.

eSentire partnered with CyberRisk Alliance's Business Intelligence Unit to conduct a survey of 205 IT/Security leaders to learn about organizations' threat intelligence efforts and the challenges they face.

Notable findings from this threat intelligence report include:

• Only 39% of respondents indicate their organization currently uses threat intelligence to prevent or mitigate cyberattacks.
• 65% of respondents indicate that filtering out noisy data is their top challenge in implementing threat intelligence.
• 59% of respondents indicate that they struggle to keep up with the evolving threat landscape.
