Description

The sophistication of cyber threats, such as ransomware, advanced phishing campaigns, zero-day vulnerability attacks, and advanced persistent threats (APTs), is pushing organizations and individuals to change strategies for reliable system protection. Cyber Threat Intelligence converts threat information into evidence-based intelligence that uncovers adversaries' intents, motives, and capabilities for effective defense against all kinds of threats. This book thoroughly covers the concepts and practices required to develop and drive threat intelligence programs, detailing the tasks involved in each step of the CTI lifecycle. You'll be able to plan a threat intelligence program by understanding and collecting the requirements, setting up the team, and exploring the intelligence frameworks. You'll also learn how and from where to collect intelligence data for your program, considering your organization level. With the help of practical examples, this book will help you get to grips with threat data processing and analysis. And finally, you'll be well-versed with writing tactical, technical, and strategic intelligence reports and sharing them with the community. By the end of this book, you'll have acquired the knowledge and skills required to drive threat intelligence operations from planning to dissemination phases, protect your organization, and help in critical defense decisions.

This is the best cyber threat intel book I've read so far. It's comprehensive and detailed, explaining theory and providing practical instructions and tools. It covers all steps of the CTI cycle.

Amazon Verified review

Amazon Customer Aug 12, 2022

This book is very intelligently organized into three sections: information on cyber threats and requirements for systems, threat modeling and defense, and integrating the defense strategy into business processes. Section 1 begins with a treatment of the threat lifecycle and requirements for implementing a team, coverage of actual real vendor frameworks, discussion of tradecraft and standards, and setting goals and procedures for CTI strategy, including practical use cases. Section 2 begins with cyber threat modeling and adversary analysis, then on to data sources to gain threat intelligence, including open sources. Protecting data and defense tactics have an entire chapter of their own. Use of artificial intelligence is also covered, and then practical use cases for threat modeling and analysis. Section 3 continues with processes and methods for integrating defense into business processes. This begins with technical needs and guidelines, data privacy, social engineering, and more. A chapter is devoted to SOCs. Other topics include threat intelligence metrics, the pyramid of pain, reporting, and wraps up with threat intelligence sharing and cyber activity concerns.

I'm ex-NCSC, have been a CTI consultant for one of the big names in the business, sit on a university oversight board for cyber courses and have built and run CTI teams for several major organisations so hopefully I can speak on the topic with some authority. The author has my sympathy in trying to condense what can be an entire career of information in to one publication and, all told, has not done a horrible job. I'm giving it three stars though for two significant issues. The first is the all-too-common issue in the industry of placing too much emphasis on CTI supporting Security Operations and focussing far too much on IOCs - while a necessary customer set, this creates a defensive mind set that devalues intelligence that allows an organisation to be proactive in ensuring cyber attacks against it fail (to borrow from the excellent ThreatConnect example, build a wall 10ft in front of the reactor exhaust port, don't worry about how effective your TIE fighters are in shooting down X-wings !). The second is the lack of mention of the fourth key level of delivery (beyond strategic, operational and tactical - the last two of which the author gives in the opposite way round to how many in the business use them incidentally) which is staff awareness. In security, staff are either your best friend or your worst enemy so CTI working with awareness and training teams is absolutely critical. On the whole, the book has many good bits but it is clearly written by a techie rather than someone with an intel or business risk background and that does lead to some myopia. As I say though, that tends to be true of about 90% of discussions on the topic unfortunately and is probably why CTI is still relatively undervalued.

I wanted to read this book as I saw it was mentioned on several groups and sites I follow. So when I started reading it I had high hopes that this would be a good read. I was utterly disappointed!The author clearly show that he has no knowledge about the intelligence process, how it works and what should be done and in which order. One could argue that since it is Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) one can have some leeway. However, CTI is a sub-set of Threat Intelligence (TI) which is a sub-set of Intelligence, thus there are already established elements and definitions. The author seems to have made stuff up as he went a long.For example, in chapter 2 he is misrepresenting such a simple thing as Intelligence Requirements Management. Here the author is claiming that "Short-Term Requirements" is the same as Prioritized Intelligence Requirement (PIR), and "Medium-Term Requirements" is equal to Specific Intelligence Requirements (SIR)... Which is not correct. Together with a stakeholder you will define what Intelligence Requirements they have. Based in this you will build and prioritise PIRs and then you will have to break each PIR into SIRs and each SIR into Essential Elements of information (EEIs).Throughout the book, the author is completely and thoroughly butchering everything I love about cyber threat intelligence and I catch myself screaming at the screen!
