Threat intelligence’s definition has been well- and truly mucked by the marketers. Only about a third of IT security leaders say threat intelligence they receive has a high level of effectiveness. Organizations aren’t putting their backs into threat intelligence yet, says Forrester’s Rick Holland. Ponemon found that only about 35% of organizations today have a dedicated team that centrally manages threat intelligence. Just over a third marry up external threat intelligence with internal data feeds, says Ponemon Institute. The contextualization of attack patterns is not very robust –under 60% fold in data from firewalls and UTM devices, just 38% pull in application security data.”]
