Threat Intelligence – External: Data collected from outside the organization’s network about current or emerging threats. This could include information from industry forums, security news feeds, threat databases, or intelligence-sharing groups, offering insights into the broader threat landscape to enhance the organization’s defense strategy. By having outsider information on threats beyond simply what an organization has experienced themselves, any organization can use that information to develop a more proactive security approach and mitigate issues before they occur and jeopardize the organization.
