Different consumers have different intelligence needs. That includes how they want to receive the CTI output. The most popular ways to disseminate intelligence are listed as follows:

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): These represent one of the most popular dissemination methods. They form the base of many security feeds. APIs are mostly used because they can easily be integrated into security tools such as SIEM, IDS, IPS, and firewalls. Sharing threat intelligence through APIs (or feeds) is faster and more efficient. Note that, today, most intelligence APIs and feeds have good documentation. Therefore, they are easy to integrate with other...
