Threat Intelligence

The term threat intelligence simply means information relating to attacks. The concept is sometimes referred to as cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to distinguish this IT information from the secret service’s knowledge of terrorist groups or foreign governments.

Threat intelligence is a general term and doesn’t specifically relate to a defined format or protocol. For example, a news item in an IT industry website can be deemed threat intelligence at the other end of the spectrum; an automated stream of data sent over the internet directly into a security package is also threat intelligence.
