The importance of adopting frameworks and standards

The need for frameworks and standards throughout threat intelligence is unique and required due to several reasons. First and foremost, frameworks and standards help organize, structure, and facilitate sharing, analyzing, and understanding threat intelligence data and information from internal or external teams. These frameworks, models, and standards help establish baselines on how sharing, analysis, and modeling should be done, and more.

Frameworks and standards that are leveraged across the CTI function of an organization help us focus on the details of sharing, modeling, classifying, and analyzing threat intelligence data and information. Organizations that rely on common frameworks and models should be used as part of a comprehensive CTI strategy. With that, let's examine some of the most widely used frameworks, models, and standards.
