Operationalizing Threat Intelligence

Chapter 1: Why You Need a Threat Intelligence Program

Today, almost every organization has a digital footprint, and this alone makes any organization a target of opportunity for threat actors who have malicious intent.

So, something happened, right? Ransomware? Supply chain attack? Ransomware because of a supply chain attack? Something worse? Often, individuals and organizations experience a revelation during times of concern or crisis that causes them to explore other options. Through the process of discovery, if you have come across the term threat intelligence and want to know more about how it can assist in maturing your security posture or protecting your organization, great! We're glad you made it here because we're here to help.

Threat intelligence, a mystery to many, is a science to some. The how, where, when, and why of technical threat intelligence collection and enrichment is a complex topic, with many facets to explore. The objective of this chapter is to introduce core concepts related to technical threat intelligence, including the motivation, models, and methods by which threat intelligence can be collected and enriched.

Specifically, in this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:

  • What is Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), and why is it important?
  • Tactical, strategic, operational, and technical CTI
  • The uses and benefits of CTI
  • How to get CTI
  • What is good CTI?
  • Intelligence life cycles
  • Threat intelligence maturity, detection, and hunting models
  • What to do with threat intelligence

Key benefits

  • Develop and implement a threat intelligence program from scratch
  • Discover techniques to perform cyber threat intelligence, collection, and analysis using open-source tools
  • Leverage a combination of theory and practice that will help you prepare a solid foundation for operationalizing threat intelligence programs

Description

We’re living in an era where cyber threat intelligence is becoming more important. Cyber threat intelligence routinely informs tactical and strategic decision-making throughout organizational operations. However, finding the right resources on the fundamentals of operationalizing a threat intelligence function can be challenging, and that’s where this book helps. In Operationalizing Threat Intelligence, you’ll explore cyber threat intelligence in five fundamental areas: defining threat intelligence, developing threat intelligence, collecting threat intelligence, enrichment and analysis, and finally production of threat intelligence. You’ll start by finding out what threat intelligence is and where it can be applied. Next, you’ll discover techniques for performing cyber threat intelligence collection and analysis using open source tools. The book also examines commonly used frameworks and policies as well as fundamental operational security concepts. Later, you’ll focus on enriching and analyzing threat intelligence through pivoting and threat hunting. Finally, you’ll examine detailed mechanisms for the production of intelligence. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the right tools and understand what it takes to operationalize your own threat intelligence function, from collection to production.

This book is the closest you're going to get to a step-by-step guide on how to establish a full-fledged cyber threat intelligence apparatus in a methodical, scalable, cost-effective, and impactful way. It thoroughly explores both strategic and tactical elements of cyber threat intelligence work and demystifies the "aura" around it that has been pervasively parroted by industry marketing for nearly a decade. No matter what position you hold at your organization (individual contributor, manager, or executive), if you're interested in Cyber Threat Intelligence, this book is for you.

Evolving an intel program from ideation to operationalization can be difficult; and this book is an excellent resource to help make the journey easier for practitioners and planners alike.It captures the foundational concepts necessary to jumpstart or enhance an intelligence program using stakeholder requirements as a baseline - an absolute MUST for any successful intelligence program. The authors are effective translating concept into practice using practical examples of tools and methodologies that can be used and tweaked in any environment.A welcome addition to any CTI library. Well done Joe and Kyle!

The book can be rather dry and in my opinion should be used more as a supplementary reference guide when self-studying for cyber threat intelligence concepts as opposed to reading it cover-to-cover.What I like about the book is that it allowed me to get my brain juices flowing and as such gave me ideas and tools that I could apply in my day-to-day as a relatively novice CTI analyst.Overall, I highly recommend this book. It can be a great entry point into threat intelligence for cybersecurity professionals.

This is a good deep dive into cyber threat intelligence including how to establish a program. The overview of the fundamentals of CTI along with some of the counter Intel measures can give a good start to designing a good cyber threat program.With a few tweaks and personalization and perhaps a little more of the tactical level advice. The book will be able to help the practicioners themselves align with a good strategy.
