Our Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team gathers information from our own threat research and a range of open, private and trusted sources to share information about current or potential attacks relevant to your organisation’s sector and operations.
The Importance of Cyber Threat Intelligence
- Changing Threat Landscape: The technical sophistication of cyber attacks continues to increase, with tactics and attack infrastructure changing regularly.
- False Positives: Building an effective collection framework and ensuring the efficacy of threat intelligence is difficult, leading to a large amount of noise, false positives and a lack of real threats detected and prevented.
- Threat Intelligence Isn’t Utilised: Many organisations fail to incorporate threat intelligence into their wider security operations, preventing it from realising it’s full value.
What to Expect From our CTI Service
We analyse, refine, and prioritise our cyber threat intelligence so it can be used within your SOC, managed services and wider organisation simply and effectively.
Risk-Based Approach
Our analysts prioritise intelligence based on its relevance and the tangible risk it poses to your organisation.
A Wider View of Your Sector
We also collate, anonymises and normalise data from our other clients operating in your sector to provide insight into threats relevant to your organisation.
High Fidelity Alerts
With a very low false positive scoring, our intelligence can be actively used for detection and blocking activities of active, malicious threats in real-time.
Tailored Plans for Any Sector
We build custom plans to suit the specific operations and security concerns of each of our clients.
Intelligence Supported by Expertise
Our CTI team can contextualise our findings to generate additional value and recommend appropriate actions. When integrated with our SOC-related services, we can work to maximise detection and response capabilities in line with the intelligence findings.
What are the benefits of Cyber Threat Intelligence?
Support Informed Decision Making
The effective use of threat intelligence is the foundation of any cyber security programme and enables informed decision making.
Anticipate and Understand Emerging Threats
With insight into recent activity from relevant threat actors, your security team will always be aware of the latest threats.
Optimise Vulnerability and Risk Management
Detailed threat intelligence helps your security team understand the biggest risks to your organisation, and how to remediate them.
Take a Proactive Approach
Being able to anticipate threats allows your SOC team to take action ahead of threats, rather than respond to them.

Cyber Threat Intelligence FAQs
Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is defined as "the actionable intelligence about adversaries, their tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs), and the vulnerabilities they exploit, that organizations use to inform decisions regarding their security posture and strategies."
CTI allows organisations to not only understand the current threat landscape, but also anticipate future threats. CTI can be used to support a number of security-related decisions.
Threat intelligence can be categorised as:
Strategic threat intelligence- Strategic intelligence provides a high-level view of the current threat landscape that can be used by non-technical/ executive audiences.
Tactical threat intelligence – Tactical intelligence provides insight on the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers.
Technical threat intelligence – Technical intelligence focuses on signs that a threat campaign is about to take place or is in progress.
Operational threat intelligence – Operational intelligence is used to anticipate future attacks and how they might unfold, allowing organisations to prepare appropriately.
