Summary
From this chapter, we can conclude that threat intelligence is not only a finished product but a seven-step process that needs to be understood and mastered to ensure the success of the CTI project. Intelligence must be conducted to support the consumer's vision. Hence, any organization that intends to integrate CTI as part of the business must carefully work through the intelligence life cycle and collaborate with the CTI team at each operation phase. Evidence must accompany each phase's decisions. Because CTI is a continuous process, the next intelligence cycle must primarily use the current cycle's feedback. The first step in planning and directing a threat intelligence project involves generating requirements and implementing an effective CTI team. The next chapter will tackle how to create intelligence requirements and position a team.
