3. Baselining the Different Types of
Cyber Threat Intelligence
For Senior Business Leaders – CISO, CIO, Risk Officer, etc.
• Informs business decisions and used to prioritize defense and direct
cybersecurity investments
• “Known Knowns” – Threat is understood and can be acted on / mitigated
For SOC/NOC Managers and Threat Analysts
• Aggregation of events along with the motivations, intent, and capabilities
of adversaries – how they plan, conduct, and sustain attack campaigns
• “Known Unknowns” – Confirmed existence of an actual threat
For SOC/NOC Operators
• The effort to detect and respond to on-the-wire events that are
technical and high volume. Focuses on threat indicators to hunt for and
defend against adversaries. Little-to-no contextualization or learning.
• “Unknown Unknowns” – Something weird is going on

The Larger Your Digital Footprint, The More
Avenues of Attack Provided to Threat Actors
• Social media use exposes more information and
employees – easier access to key executives
• Supply chain represents significant risk - 57% of
breaches originate from partners and suppliers (PwC)
• Dark Web markets and forums provide more tools
and information for threat actors to leverage –
translates to fraudulent activity against your business,
customers and brand
• Many popular threats leverage social engineering
techniques (i.e. phishing and ransomware)
• Convergence of physical and digital security risks
