Operational Intelligence

Operational Intelligence

• Operational Intelligence: This is real-time or near-real-time intelligence derived from technical means. It helps in making day-to-day decisions, allocating resources, and prioritizing tasks.

• Benefits:

  • Trends Analysis: Shows the technical direction of threat actors.

  • Threat Identification: Indicates if an adversary has selected a particular target and reveals malicious tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

  • Informed Decisions: Helps security professionals and IT teams make better decisions by understanding the tools and vulnerabilities adversaries are exploiting.

  • Enhanced Incident Response: Improves incident response plans and mitigation techniques for future attacks.

  • Proactive Discovery: Supports threat hunting programs to identify suspicious activities that bypass traditional security technologies.

• Audience: Primarily intended for a technical audience, such as security operations personnel and managers. It provides a greater level of context than tactical intelligence, helping to understand threat actors and their methods.
