For thousands of years, humans have worked to collect intelligence on their enemies. Intelligence gathering is not a new practice; in fact, it is one of the oldest war tactics dating back to biblical times, when warlords and army commanders used it to gain advantages over their rivals.

However, the methods have changed as new technologies and new forms of “warfare” have been developed. In recent years, cyber-attacks have led to an entirely new host of intelligence challenges, especially for corporations, who are not accustomed to the practice of intelligence gathering the way governments are. Yet, Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) can be critically important to how organizations defend against attacks and uncover their cyber adversaries.
