Description: The Threat Intelligence Lifecycle refers to the stages that threat intelligence data goes through from initial collection to the implementation of actions based on that information. This cycle is fundamental in the field of cybersecurity, as it enables organizations to effectively identify, analyze, and respond to cyber threats. Typical stages include data collection, processing and analysis of information, dissemination of findings, and finally, decision-making and action. Each phase is crucial to ensure that the generated intelligence is relevant and useful for cybersecurity defense. Collection may involve various sources, from open data to human intelligence sources. Analysis involves evaluating the information to identify patterns and trends, while dissemination ensures that the results reach the appropriate stakeholders. The final action may include implementing security measures, modifying policies, or responding to incidents. This cycle not only helps organizations protect against current threats but also allows them to anticipate and prepare for future attacks, becoming an essential component of any entity’s cybersecurity strategy.
