What it is
Threat intelligence is the structured collection, analysis, and interpretation of data about cyber threats—malicious IPs, exploited vulnerabilities, phishing kits, and attacker tactics. It converts raw telemetry from logs, sensors, and feeds into actionable guidance that defenders can apply. Intelligence can be strategic (industry trends), operational (active campaigns), or technical (indicators of compromise). FYND curates intelligence so customers immediately see which exposed vulnerabilities are being targeted in the wild.
Why it matters
Threat intelligence helps organisations understand which risks are most urgent right now. It guides patch prioritisation, accelerates detection, and sharpens incident response by revealing how adversaries operate. Without intelligence, teams often waste cycles on low-priority findings while active campaigns quietly probe their internet-facing assets.
How to reduce risk
- Integrate threat intelligence feeds into scanning and monitoring workflows.
- Prioritise vulnerabilities tied to confirmed exploitation.
- Track malicious IPs, domains, and file hashes for faster blocking.
- Use attacker-behaviour frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to map coverage.
- Review emerging threats regularly and adjust controls accordingly.
