I have the great opportunity to spend time with CSOs and IT executives to understand their cybersecurity concerns and help them map out a strategy for success. An increasingly common question I’ve been hearing is, “Does my organization need a threat intelligence team?”

Adding threat intelligence capabilities to your organization can be valuable, with their ability to hunt for advanced attacks; profile never-before-seen malware, campaigns or adversaries; and really think like an attacker. However, the number of organizations with their own dedicated threat intelligence team is quite low today, with some very good reasons behind this trend.
