Threat intelligence best practices and tips
I want to give you some guidance on how to identify good threat intelligence versus questionable threat intelligence. After publishing one of the industry's best threat intelligence reports for the better part of a decade (OK, I admit I'm biased), I learned a few things along the way that I'll share with you here. The theme of this guidance is to understand the methodology that your threat intelligence vendors use.
If they don't tell you what their methodology is, then you can't trust their data, period. Additionally, the only way you'll be able to truly understand if or how specific threat intelligence can help your organization is to understand its data sources, as well as the methodology used to collect and report the data; without this context, threat intelligence can be distracting and the opposite of helpful.
