Tactical Intelligence

Tactical Intelligence

  • Tactical Intelligence: Also known as technical intelligence, it is short-term and focuses on immediate threats. It includes information like Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) such as file hashes, malicious domains, and IP addresses.

  • Purpose: The main goal is to provide actionable information quickly to those who need it, helping in making rapid decisions to block or allow actions and sometimes shut down threats.

  • Benefits:

    • Provides context and relevance to large amounts of data.

    • Helps filter out noise and turn data into actionable intelligence.

    • Empowers organizations to be proactive in their cybersecurity posture.

    • Identifies vulnerabilities and patterns of adversarial behavior.

  • Shortcomings:

    • Short-term in nature, as some IOCs can become obsolete quickly.

    • Needs timely and high-quality sources to avoid false positives.

  • Audience: Intended for technical personnel like system architects, administrators, and security staff who are directly involved in defending the organization.
